Slip and Fall Injuries are No Laughing Matter
One of the most common types of pratfalls in movie and television comedies is the slip and fall. In the real world, slip and fall injuries are no laughing matter. In the United States annually, including in and around the Inland Empire, thousands of women, men, and children end up suffering injuries from slip and fall accidents, according to the National Safety Council.
While it is true that many slip and fall cases do result in injuries like broken bones and lacerations, far more serious injuries are also associated with these types of accidents. Each year, individuals from all walks of life suffer brain and spinal cord injuries as the result of slip and fall accidents.
What many people do not realize is that more traumatic brain injuries are caused by slip and fall accidents than by automobile collisions each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Approximately 1.5 million people sustain traumatic brain injuries annually, according to the CDC. 28 percent of those injuries are caused by slip and fall accidents, 20 percent by car accidents.
Other Types of Accidents
A skilled injury lawyer is also adept at assisting a person with other types of accident-related injuries as well. Other types of accidents that result in serious injuries in the Golden State include drowning incidents, assaults, and unsafe products.
Unsafe products are particularly commonplace in the Inland Empire. These can include everything from defects in automobiles that result in accidents and injuries to everyday consumer items used in the home. Unsafe product cases can be particularly challenging and underscore the importance of legal representation.
Identifying what third party is at fault in a product injury case is challenging. A responsible wrongdoer may be the manufacturer, a distributor, a retailer, some other entity in the distribution change, or a combination of parties.
Identifying, and holding all wrongdoers responsible, really requires the professional assistance of an experienced injury attorney, like a lawyer from The Doan Law Office at (424) 334-0000.
