Types of Injuries After a Slip and Fall Accident in Ronkonkoma, NY

A slip and fall accident can happen at any time, in any location, causing injuries that range from minor to life-threatening. Some of the most common injuries after a slip and fall accident include:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)

TBIs occur because there is a sudden trauma that causes damage to the brain. In the case of a slip and fall accident, it could be that the head suddenly and violently hits the floor or an object, or the head hits an object with such force that it pierces the skull during the fall and enters the brain. Disabilities from the TBI depend on the severity and location of the injury, as well as the age and health of the individual. It can cause problems with cognition, communication, and even behavior.

Hip Fractures

This particular injury typically occurs in older adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 95% of hip fracture in adults aged 65 and older are caused by falling sideways. These injuries can be deadly in older adults, as one in three over the age of 50 dies within 12 months of suffering a hip fracture.

Back and Spinal Cord Injuries

There are a number of injuries that can impact the back and spinal cord, including:

  • Compression of discs or a slipped disc
  • Twisting of the spine
  • Whiplash injury to neck, discs, spinal cord and spine
  • Nerve damage to the back

These are just a few of the possible injuries you could have sustained after a slip and fall injury. If you have been hurt because of a fall, contact the slip and fall lawyers in Ronkonkoma, NY, Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P., today at (631) 451-7900 for a free, no-risk consultation.

Establishing Liability in a Slip and Fall Case

While many automatically assume that a slip and fall accident was their own fault, this is not often the case. Property owners are expected to keep their land and buildings in a safe condition.

Liability in these cases hinges on whether the owner knew or should have known that the conditions were dangerous and could have resulted in an injury and did nothing to correct the problem. A slip and fall lawyer in Ronkonkoma, NY, can help make this determination.

Because slip and falls can cause life-threatening injuries—as you can see above—dangerous property conditions should not be taken lightly.

Damages You May Be Entitled to in a Slip and Fall Claim in Ronkonkoma, NY

If the the property owner is at fault for your injury accident, they should have to pay to compensate you for damages. The extent of the damages that you could recover is generally contingent on the seriousness of your injuries. That said, some of the more common types of damages that victims can recover in cases like yours include:

  • Medical expenses, including ambulance rides, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, and ongoing treatment
  • Lost wages and your capacity to earn and income
  • Physical pain and emotional suffering you endured as a result of your injuries
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Wrongful Death

In the event that your family member passed away as a result of the accident, you may be entitled to compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit. In this case, your family may be able to recover damages like:

  • Medical expenses left to you after your loved one has passed
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of wages and benefits provided by your loved one
  • Loss of support and protection
  • Pain and suffering

If you have lost a loved one—or been injured yourself—because of a slip and fall accident, you have the right to hold any negligent parties responsible. Call a slip and fall lawyer in Ronkonkoma, NY, on the team at Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. today at (631) 451-7900 for a free, no-obligation consultation.

How the New York Statute of Limitations Can Impact Your Claim

In New York, you generally have three years from the date of the injury accident to file a claim pursuing damages in your case. If the injury resulted in the death of the victim, a claim must be filed by the family within two years of his or her death.  These time limits may be even shorter in some situations, including cases against a municipality.

If you do not take action within the required time frame, you may forfeit your right to pursue legal action and recover damages.
