Common Slip and Fall Injuries
Fractures and Broken Bones:
Broken bones commonly result from slip-and-fall accidents, especially in the wrists, arms, and hips as people instinctively try to break their fall. Such fractures often need lengthy recovery periods and may require surgical treatment.
Head Injuries:
Slip-and-fall incidents can cause concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and other forms of head trauma, which may result in lasting effects such as cognitive decline and memory problems.
Soft Tissue Damage:
These injuries include sprains, strains, and tears of muscles, ligaments, or tendons. Although not always obvious, they can produce persistent pain and restrict mobility, and may sometimes require physical therapy.
Hip Fractures:
Hip fractures, especially prevalent among older adults, frequently necessitate surgical intervention and prolonged rehabilitation. A slip-and-fall can render victims unable to move and subject them to lengthy recovery timelines.
Spinal Cord Injuries:
Falls can cause serious spinal cord damage, leading to outcomes ranging from chronic back pain to paralysis depending on severity. Such injuries typically demand extensive medical treatment and long-term care.
Shoulder Injuries:
Falling on an outstretched arm can cause shoulder dislocations or rotator cuff tears. These injuries are painful, often greatly restrict everyday activities, and frequently require surgical repair.
