Slip-And-Fall Cases: What You Should Know

Most people have experienced an embarrassing moment after stubbing a toe or slightly losing balance for a moment. Slip-and-fall accidents, however, are not trivial events. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention list falls as a leading cause of brain injuries. Many accidental falls result in catastrophic and life-changing personal injuries that require extensive medical attention. When a property owner is negligent in maintaining a safe premises, accident victims should not have to bear the financial burden on behalf of the wrongful property owner.

If you or a family member has suffered a head injury, a back injury or other type of serious injury in a slip-and-fall accident, you already know that this is no minor incident. A fall on snow or ice, a fall down stairs, a fall on a slippery surface, or a fall from a balcony or bunk bed can leave a victim incapacitated for a long time. Recovery after a traumatic brain injury or broken bone or fracture can be much longer, more painful and more difficult than expected.
