Slip-and-fall injuries can produce serious and deadly injuries. Like any accident, a slip-and-fall incident can happen at any time, and usually does when you aren’t expecting to have any problems. A slip-and-fall incident can happen in many places but common locations include grocery stores, shopping malls, parking lots, pool decks, and more.
Any part of the body can be vulnerable to physical bodily harm that results in serious injuries when a slip-and-fall accident happens. If the neck is impacted in a slip-and-fall accident several adverse outcomes can transpire with some being worse than others.
If you were hurt on another entity’s premises that was unsafe, and the property owner should have known about the condition of the property to fix it but they did not, then you may be able to file a claim against the owner for your losses. If you would like assistance with a personal injury claim in Pennsylvania, you are welcome to reach out and call a Philadelphia personal injury attorney at Edelstein Martin & Nelson, LLP.
