Common Injuries Sustained in Slip and Falls Caused by Loose Floorboards
Slip and fall or trip and fall injuries are often caused to the lower legs, hands, wrists, and shoulders when the victim is able to catch him or herself. While landing on an outstretched arm or shoulder can cause damage to that limb, it often saves the individual from more serious harm inflicted on the head, neck, and back.
- Fractured or sprained ankle
- Fractured or sprained wrist
- Fractured ulna (forearm bone)
- Fractured elbow
- Fractured or sprained hand or fingers
- Fractured collar bone
- Contusions and lacerations to the arms or hands
The most serious injuries include the following:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Back and neck trauma:
- Herniated disc
- Bulging disc
- Whiplash
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractured vertebrae
- Strained or torn muscle or tendon
- Fractured rib
- Fractured hip
- Injuries to the face
- Fractured jaw
- Broken nose
- Fractured eye socket
- Lacerations
- Damaged teeth
- Torn ACL tendon
- Torn meniscus
- Fractured tibia or fibula
- Fractured femur
Trip and falls caused by loose floorboards often cause multiple injuries to various regions of the body. A serious fall that involves multiple injuries, such as one involving a broken wrist, bruised ribs, and a serious concussion, increases the value of an injury claim because the pain and suffering, lost wages due to disability, and out-of-pocket medical expenses are so much more than if the injury was located to one body region.
By working with our Windsor trip and fall accident lawyers, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Lost wages and earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Out of pocket medical expenses
- Housekeeping expenses
- Travel expenses to medical appointments
