Slip And Fall Accidents

Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can happen any day and anywhere. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, slip and fall accidents are responsible for over 1 million emergency room visits every year. They account for 12% of all falling accidents and are the number one cause of missed work.

Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can have many different causes, but most result from an unseen or unattended hazard in a common walkway. Some causes of slip and fall or trip and fall injuries include:

  1. The accumulation of water from precipitation on entryways, hallways, stairs and other common walking areas;
  2. The accumulation of water from spills or cleaning activities;
  3. Ice, snow or slush build-up on a sidewalk or in a parking lot;
  4. Poorly maintained pool areas;
  5. Accumulation of snow or ice on stairs and walkways; and
  6. Items left on the floor or liquid spills by employees or other shoppers in a department or grocery store.

It is important to remember that a slip and fall injury can happen anywhere. Some common locations of slip and fall injuries are:

  1. Department stores and grocery stores;
  2. Hotels;
  3. Work and office buildings;
  4. Nursing home facilities;
  5. Apartment buildings;
  6. The home of a friend or family member;
  7. Pools and waterparks;
  8. Parking lots;
  9. Entertainment spaces such as sports stadiums, concert halls and theatres; and

Each location comes with its own set of hazards and some places come with an assumption of risk. That said, it is generally the responsibility of the property owner to maintain safe premises.

Common Slip And Fall Injuries

Back painSlip and fall accidents can often result in serious personal injuries. Some of these injuries can have long-term consequences and permanently change your life. The common injuries associated with slip and fall accidents are:

  1. Fractures, (more commonly referred to as broken bones) particularly to:
    1. Wrists, hands and fingers, as people have the natural inclination to stop their fall by reaching out;
    2. Arms and elbows;
    3. Hips, particularly in the elderly; and
    4. Ankles.
  2. Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions, which result from severe impact to the head, often after falling backward;
  3. Severe bruising;
  4. Joint injuries, such as dislocations, particularly in the shoulders;
  5. Neck and back injuries, including spinal cord injuries and herniated discs;
  6. Muscle injuries and strains; and
  7. Death.

It is important to note that people over the age of 65 are more likely to fall and to sustain a serious injury from a fall. Low bone density means that elderly individuals are likely to break a hip in a fall. According to the CDC, one out of every five falls causes a serious injury. For many reasons, older adults do not always tell their doctors when they fall. If you, or a loved one, suffered an injury in a slip and fall accident, be sure to tell your doctor. Medical professionals can ensure that you have not sustained a more serious injury and prevent the need for further medical attention.
