Grocery stores are common places for slip and fall accidents to occur. Broken bottles that leak liquid, fruits and vegetables that may have been stepped on leaving a filmy residue, floors that have been recently mopped, or condensation from freezers or refrigerators can make the walkways slippery. Failing to clean up spills quickly or using signage to mark hazardous areas can result in customers slipping and falling in the store.
These accidents can often result in sprains, muscle strains, bruises, or broken bones. However, everyday slip and fall accidents can result in trauma to the head. If we fall forward, we may able to catch ourselves with our arms and legs, protecting our head from impact. Falling backwards can result in the head hitting the floor. In other cases, our head can hit the corners of countertops or shelves as we fall. A blow to the head can result in trauma to the brain. These injuries can range from minor to serious, even fatal.
