“A Spill, A Slip – A Hospital Trip!” – Safety Slogan
Slip and fall accidents are more common than we think. They result in a variety of injuries, including:
- Sprains/bruises
- Ligament tears
- Cuts/lacerations
- Road-rash
- Serious head/neck/spinal trauma
- Head/Facial injury
- Dental injury
- Internal organ damage
- Fractures (Hip-fractures are common among the elderly)
- Whiplash injury
- Dislocation
- Permanent disability
- Disfigurement
- Death
The first thing a person who slips and falls should do is to seek immediate medical attention.
See Your Doctor – No Matter How Minor The Injury!
Burlington slip and fall injury lawyers know from experience that many injured victims fail to visit a doctor immediately after a fall, because they assume that the injuries are minor.
But many serious injuries have delayed symptoms. Whiplash, traumatic brain injury, internal hemorrhage, fractures etc may not appear serious at first.
If left unattended, they can lead to serious problems later.
Accidents Hurt! Not Just Physically!
Injured victims may have to take extended time out from work, leading to loss of income/wages. If the injuries are permanent, they face loss of earning-capacity.
Medical expenses, rehabilitation, treatments, hospitalization, therapy, medication, physiotherapy are expensive. Additionally, if you’re unable to work, the household expenses can be difficult to meet.
Injuries also cause immense emotional shock and trauma. Your pain and suffering are part of the injuries you sustain.
