Think Slip and Fall Accidents Can’t Result in Serious Injuries?

New York Personal Injury Lawyer Helping People Injured in a Slip and Fall, Trip and Fall Accidents in New York

If you are like most people, you do not think of slip and falls as accidents that can result in serious injuries that entitle victims to compensation. While it is certainly the case that the vast majority of slips, trips, and falls do not seriously hurt those involved, it is critical to understand that these accidents are also capable of causing injuries that can leave victims with significant medical expenses that may even be life-changing. Some of the more serious injuries that people can sustain in slip and fall accidents are discussed below.

Types Of Injuries Caused by a Slip and Fall Accidents

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries  – If you fall and hit your head on the ground or on another object, it could result in a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. Even mild traumatic brain injuries are serious injuries that can lead to complications that can last for weeks or even months. These complications may include dizziness, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound, sleep problems, and trouble concentrating, just to name a few. In more serious cases, victims can develop long-term cognitive or physical disabilities that may affect their ability work or live independently.
  • Fractures – Fractures, or broken bones, can be extremely painful and require surgery to correct. For older adults or people who have low bone density or are otherwise pre-disposed to issues with their bones, a fall may result in a hip fracture that could land them in the hospital for weeks or even months. In some cases, these kinds of fractures even necessitate hip replacement surgery.
  • Serious Soft Tissue Injuries – Serious soft tissue injuries like torn ligaments and tendons can be very painful and require months to heal. In addition, many victims require physical therapy or even surgery to reach maximum medical improvement and still may be left with issues that they have to manage for the rest of their lives.
