Slip & Fall Injuries
Owners of residential and commercial real estate in Hollywood and Florida are required to maintain their properties and remove hazards that could cause slip and fall accidents and other injuries. When property owners do not follow these laws, slip and fall accidents can result. These types of accidents often cause devastating injuries. In fact, some people are surprised to learn that even co-called “simple” slip and fall accidents can lead to fatalities.
At Flaxman Law Group, our main priority is to maximize your recovery. If you find yourself worried due to an injury, let our law firm assist you in determining the value and strength of your case. Our law firm can help you find local resources and can help you understand your legal rights. We can offer both legal advice and representation, taking care of the details of your claim so that you can focus on your health and your family.
Many Types of Slip and Fall InjuriesCommon slip and fall injuries include:
- Spinal cord injury
- Concussion
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Concussions
- Herniated discs
- Chronic back pain
- Soft tissue injury
- Paraplegia
- Tetraplegia
- Broken or fractured bones
- Laceration
- Scarring
- Facial or eye injury
- Fatalities
These injuries not only have the power to transform your life, but they can affect your finances for years to come. A spinal cord injury, for example, can permanently place you in a wheelchair and can result in more than $100 000 in medical and at-home care bills per year. If you suffer a head injury – one of the most common types of injury in a slip and fall accident – you may not be able to return to work and you may need rehabilitation, at-home care, surgery, and other expensive types of services.
If you suddenly suffered this type of serious injury, how would you pay for everyday bills and medical bills? If you could not work due to a serious injury, how would you meet your financial obligations? One option is to seek legal redress through a legal claim.
