Slip and fall accidents are often equated with minor to moderate injuries; however, many of them actually prove very serious for victims. Depending on factors such as a person’s age, the surface on which the accident occurred, and the force of one’s fall, the level of injury can range from mild to fatal. Say some Sacramento serious injury lawyers, “many people are unaware that a significant percentage of brain injuries are caused by falls.” According to data from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number averages over 35 percent.

Other common serious injuries caused by slip and fall accidents include:

• Broken bones

• Bone fractures

• Spinal cord injuries

• Lacerations

There are several types of safety hazards that commonly lead to slip and fall accidents. These include:

• Wet or oily surfaces

• Uneven flooring

• Insufficient lighting

• View obstruction

• Items blocking walkways

Those who have been seriously injured in a Sacramento slip and fall accident may be able to recover compensation from property owners or operators of the premises where they sustained their injury. That is particularly true in cases where the negligence of a property owner, such as a failure to clean up a spill or failing to repair cracks in flooring, contributed to the injury of someone on their property. A personal injury claim may be warranted to ensure fair compensation for the injured victim.
