About Slip & Fall
Slip and fall injuries are among the leading causes of unintentional deaths in the US. Nearly 8.9 million people check into emergency rooms every year to receive treatment from slip and fall injuries, many of them serious and life-altering. The most common slip and fall injuries are the following:
Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
Fractures (especially hip fractures in the elderly)
Sprained/strained muscles and torn tendons or ligaments
Whether or not the homeowner or business owner should have known about the hazard
Dislocated shoulders
If you have experienced any of the above injuries somewhere that was not your home or place of residence, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim. Premises liability claims are often the result of negligence. You may be entitled to receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering, or loss of normal life.
