Slip and Fall Spine Injuries
When visiting another person’s home or personal property, unforeseen accidents may occur. Some of the most commonly reported residential home accidents are of the slip-and-fall variety. While most of these incidents result in minor embarrassment and slight bumps and bruises, some may be very serious in nature and can cause severe injuries.
If a person is involved in a slip-and-fall accident, he or she may run the risk of causing serious damage to the spine or spinal cord, which may can result in long-term pain, suffering, and disability. Individuals who are hurt on someone else’s property may be able to pursue compensation for damages suffered in the accident. For assistance with your slip-and-fall accident claim, contact the Pennsylvania premises liability attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams at 610-667-7511 today.
Causes of Spine Injury
Visitors may suffer serious spine injuries in a slip and fall accident if another person’s property has:
- Uneven flooring
- Worn or torn carpeting
- Lack of traction on high-traffic areas
- Liquid spills on pedestrian walkways
- Lack of handrails or guardrails on staircases and patios
- Objects left in walkways
If a person slips and falls and lands on his or her back, they may run the risk of causing serious and irreparable damage to the spine or spinal cord. Such injuries can cause partial or full body-paralysis, lasting pain and problems with limbs and extremities, among other serious health consequences.
