Slip and Fall

Slip and Fall Attorney Serving Los Angeles

Slip, trip, and fall accidents are a common part of everyday life. These types of accidents are the second leading cause of injuries across the United States, behind only motor vehicle accidents. Slip and falls lead to over 1 million emergency room visits each year. Slip and falls are the leading cause of workers’ compensation claims in the country, and they are the biggest cause of work-related injury for people over the age of 55. Approximately 17,000 people die across the country every year from injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident. Our slip and fall accidents are fully aware of all this and want to help you navigate through your injury.

Recovery for Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can cause a variety of injuries, sometimes fatal. Around 30% of those who suffer a fall will experience injury. The most common injuries are fractures, particularly hip fractures. Hip fractures are especially prevalent, and devastating, among the elderly.

  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy. Full recovery from a severe fracture often requires ongoing physical therapy and medical treatment.
  • Serious injury, disablement, and disfigurement. Slips can lead to serious injury where, for example, the victim is elderly or the slip occurs in a hazardous area such as a staircase.
