JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Slip-and-fall accidents are to be taken seriously. Some slip-and-fall accidents are minor, and we only have ourselves to blame. But there are plenty of times where slip-and-fall accidents in Philadelphia are serious – and often times not the fault of the victim.

When a serious slip-and-fall accident occurs on private or public property, the victim will typically suffer from major injuries, and can incur emotional trauma and high medical bills.

Here is a list of common injuries sustained from serious slip-and-fall accidents:

• Broken Hips or Pelvis – Breaking your hip or pelvis is painful and debilitating. Mobility is greatly limited, which can cause the victim to miss a lot of work and to have a diminished active lifestyle.
• Neck, Back, and Spine Injuries – A slipped disk, broken back, or other spinal injury can cause chronic pain. You may even need a costly surgery to help heal your injury.
• Head Injuries – If your head hits the floor or another object during your fall, you could sustain a concussion or closed head brain trauma.  Brain damage is serious and harder to rehabilitate. It can a long time until you have full cognitive function after a serious fall.

Serious slip-and-fall accidents can happen anywhere. People, like you, are legitimately hurt and in need of compensation to help them pay medical bills or to cover wage loss. If you have been injured in a slip-and-fall accident in the Philadelphia or Allentown area, you should hire an experienced attorney to help you with your case.
