You Can Get Compensation for Your Kentucky Slip and Fall Case

Slip and falls lead to around nine million emergency room visits each year in the United States. Were you included in this statistic? This common — and avoidable — accident often happens due to a property owner’s negligence. A property owner is responsible for keeping their premises safe from hazards that could cause a person to slip, trip, or fall.

Injuries from a slip or fall can lead to doctor visits, hospitalization, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. None of this should be your responsibility. Let the slip and fall attorneys at Copeland & Romines Law Office fight for the maximum compensation that you deserve. We can help.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and falls typically happen when you slip or trip over a hazard such as a spill, untreated ice or un-shoveled snow, ripped or torn carpeting, broken stairs, or faulty handrails. Although every accident is different and occurs under different circumstances, slip and falls tend to result in common injuries. Following are some examples.

• Hip fractures. Hip fractures are very common in slip and falls, and also very serious injuries. They require surgery, hospitalization, and physical therapy.
• Shoulder injuries. These injuries are painful and can require physical therapy and sometimes surgery.
• Sprains and bone fractures. Slips or falls can result in twisting or over-extension of the knees, ankles, wrists, and ligaments. Further, the force of hitting the ground can fracture or break bones.
• Back or spinal injuries. The force of hitting the ground after a slip and fall can also cause trauma to the back or spine. These injuries can range from moderate to severe.
• Head injuries. Slip and falls can cause you to slam your head against the floor or another object. This can cause concussion or a TBI (traumatic brain injury).

Slip and fall injuries can affect you for weeks, months, or a lifetime. You may experience loss of wages, piles of medical bills, and loss of enjoyment of life. Your determined and sympathetic personal injury lawyer works to their utmost to ensure you are compensated for all of your losses.
