Slip and fall (sometimes referred to as trip and fall) incidents are far more common than most people realize. Nationally, more than one million people visit emergency rooms each year for injuries from slip and fall accidents and medical costs from these accidents can easily reach $20,000 to $40,000 depending on the injury.Hazards such as wet floors, spills, poorly maintained stairs, uneven surfaces, and inadequate lighting are common in New Orleans’ retail stores, commercial buildings and common areas. The city’s mix of high pedestrian activity and older buildings enhances the risk of slip and fall injuries for locals and tourists alike.Common Slip and Fall Injuries We Handle
When someone slips or trips and falls, the injuries may appear minor at first but can turn serious quickly, especially for older individuals. Some of the most common injuries we see include:Fractures and broken bones: Wrist injuries from trying to break the fall are very common along with injuries to the elbow, hip and leg.Dislocations, sprains and ligament tears: The shoulder, knee and ankle are particularly vulnerable when the body twists and lands in an unexpected position.Traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion: A “simple” slip can result in head impacts causing memory or cognitive issues and in some cases long-term impairment.Spinal injuries, herniated discs or nerve damage: When the spine or nearby nerves are compressed or damaged by the force of a fall, long-term pain and mobility limitations can occur.Soft tissue injuries, chronic pain and mobility issues: Muscle tears, deep contusions and tendon damage can lead to months of therapy and reduced quality of life.
Slip and fall injuries often require emergency care, hospitalization, specialists, physical therapy and sometimes adaptive equipment. Injured in a Slip and Fall Accident? Bet on Branch.
