What is a Slip and Fall Injury?

A slip and fall injury occurs during an accident when a person slips, missteps, or trips and falls. These types of accidents vary in severity and can result in injuries ranging from minor bruises and scrapes to broken bones, whiplash, and herniated discs. Even if you experience minimal or no pain after a slip and fall, it is still a smart idea to see a medical professional; injuries, such as whiplash, typically will not present symptoms until days or weeks after the accident but should be treated right away. 

Common Injuries Incurred During a Slip and Fall Accident

In addition to bruises, scrapes, and abrasions, slip and fall accidents can result in a myriad of different injuries including:

  • soft tissue injuries - sprains, strains, and tears of the muscles, fascia, ligaments, tendons, and nerves
  • fractures - compression fractures in the vertebrae or other bones
  • head injuries - concussion
  • whiplash - occurs during the acceleration and abrupt stop of the fall
  • spinal injuries - herniated discs, slipped discs, and fractures

These injuries can range in severity from mild to life-threatening. Spinal injuries, for instance, have the potential to paralyze an individual. Whiplash, while it seems like a mild injury if left untreated can result in severe symptoms such as chronic pain, depression, severe anxiety, and insomnia.
