Causes of Slip and Fall Injuries

Causes of Slip and Fall Injuries

Many of us will suffer a serious fall at some point in our lifetime – and in many cases, this will not be our fault. In Colorado, frequent weather fluctuations mean that slippery sidewalks, icy parking lots, and wet floors are common hazards.

It may be possible to hold property owners liable for negligence if any of the following conditions are present on their property:

Types of Slip and Fall

Slip and Fall lawsuits can provide compensation for a variety of injuries. Some common injuries that we see in slip and fall cases include:

Ankle Or Wrist Sprains
Broken Bones
Soft Tissue Injuries
Knee Injuries
Shoulder Dislocations
Nerve Or Spinal Damage
Ankle Or Wrist Sprains

Ankle or Wrist Sprain After Falling?

Trust Bowman Law to Make it Right.

In the case of a slip and fall injury, the wrist can easily be hyperextended when you hit the ground, and this can damage or tear the ligaments in the hand. While some injuries heal on their own, in severe cases surgery may be required to reattach the ligament.

Other common injuries include scaphoid fractures and thumb sprains.

Broken-Bones

Broken Bones

Bowman Law Has the Focus to Get You the Right Compensation.

According to the CDC, one out of every five falls causes a broken bone or other serious injury. Some slip and fall accidents involving a broken bone may require surgery or take a prolonged period of time to heal, which is why it is important that you receive a fair settlement.

Soft-Tissue-Dog-Bites

Soft Tissue Injuries

Bowman Law is Here to Get You Justice.

Soft tissue injuries that are common in slip and fall accidents include:

  • Sprain – a torn or stretched ligament
  • Strain – the stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon
  • Stress fractures – Small fractures within the bone caused by stress
  • Contusion – A bruise caused by impact to the muscle, ligaments, or tendons
  • Tendonitis – Tendon inflammation
  • Bursitis – Irritation of the bursa, the small, fluid-filled sacs that cushion the bones, tendons, and muscles near your joints
Knee-Injury

Knee Injuries

Let Bowman Law Navigate The Claims Process For You

In a slip and fall accident, bones like the kneecap may break. Soft tissue such as ligaments, cartilage, and tendons, can be torn, sprained, or inflamed.

Shoulder-Injury

Shoulder Dislocations

Bowman Law Knows How to Handle It

A dislocated shoulder causes your upper arm bone to pop out of the cup-shaped socket in your shoulder blade. Not only is a dislocated shoulder highly painful, it can cause permanent damage to the nerves or blood vessels in the arm.

Nerve-or-Spinal-Damage

Nerve Or Spinal Damage

The Lawyers at Bowman Law Will Take Care of it For You.

According to the Mayo Clinic, slip and falls accidents are the most common cause of spinal cord injury in those over the age of 65.

A slip and fall can cause a partial or complete tear of the spinal cord. In addition to severe pain, the victim may suffer loss of sensation, bladder control, or mobility in his or her limbs.

The Modified Comparative Fault Rule

The Modified Comparative Fault Rule

When you make a slip and fall claim, the property owner may argue that you bear some amount of responsibility for the accident. This is where the “modified comparative fault” rule comes into play.

If the property owner succeeds in laying part of the blame for the accident on you, your financial settlement may be reduced or there may be no compensation awarded. If there is a chance that you will be held partially at fault for your accident, an experienced slip and fall attorney can help you navigate this process to reach a fair settlement.

What Damages Can be Recovered in Slip and fall Accidents?

Slip and fall accidents are subject to Colorado’s premises liability laws. Recoveries for successful slip and fall claims can include compensation for:

Fair Compensation
Pain & Suffering
Loss
Loss of consortium
Lost wages
Lost Wages
Medical bills
Medical Expenses

Slip & Fall Frequently Asked Questions

Slip and fall accidents may result in serious injuries, including broken bones. Below are some steps you should follow in the event of a fall:

  • For your safety, stay still and check for injuries
  • If possible, file a report of your injury with the property owner
  • Ask for contact information of any witnesses
  • Gather evidence and take photographs
  • Seek medical help
  • File an insurance claim
  • Contact a qualified slip and fall attorney
How long after a fall can you make a claim?

In most slip and fall cases, an injury claim against the property owner must be filed within two years.

If the accident occured on government property, the deadline to send the relevant government entity a notice of claim may be considerably shorter.

  2. Contact an experienced lawyer who specializes in personal injury law.
  3. Investigate the case to establish negligence.
  4. Serve notice of claim to all involved parties.
