Possible settings for slip and fall accidents
These accidents can happen anywhere at any time to anyone:
- You’re on vacation and finally arrive at your hotel, but the lobby floor is uneven and causes you to trip and fall.
- You make a quick stop at the grocery to pick up something for dinner, but you slip and fall because the floor was just mopped but wasn’t blocked off.
- You walk into your favorite clothing store at the mall, and they have a raised carpet in one area, and you trip and fall because of it.
- You return home from vacation late at night, and the parking lot for your apartment complex is poorly lit, which causes you to trip over something you would have seen with proper lighting.
- You’re on a nice leisurely stroll through your neighborhood with your spouse when you trip and fall due to the raised pavement of a damaged sidewalk.
These accidents can cause injuries ranging from mild to serious, to fatal. Hiring the right slip and fall lawyer can make a significant difference in your compensation for your injuries. You need Torrance slip and fall lawyers.
Common injuries from slip and fall claims
When it comes to injuries stemming from typical situations where the victim slips and falls due to a slippery surface, wrist fractures or sprains are common because the victim instinctively attempts to break their fall with their hands. Other common injuries in these types of accidents include cuts, bruises, or broken bones in the elbows, back, spine, pelvis, or head.
Common injuries resulting from trip and fall cases
When it comes to injuries stemming from typical situations where the victim trips and falls due to stumbling on uneven surfaces, protruding objects, hidden objects, or bunched up carpeting, facial and skull injuries are common, including damaged teeth, nose, cheeks, or forehead. Additionally, the forward fall that these types of trips often cause can result in broken bones or sprained ligaments in the knee, hip, ankle, foot, hand, wrist, arm, head, or pelvis. When you consider the serious nature of some of the potential injuries caused by these accidents, there’s too much at stake to not hire the right personal injury attorney.
