Did you slip and fall when shopping at a grocery store? Trip over a hidden curb in the parking lot and fall on the hard pavement? Perhaps you fell when you slipped on a freshly mopped floor. We often think of slip and fall accidents as just those minor inconveniences that happen in life. You may be sore for a few days but that’s nothing that aspirin and a little rest can’t take care of.
For some of us, however, slip and fall accidents can result in a serious brain injury. A victim may lose their footing when they slip and hit their head on the floor, the corner of a shelf, or another hard object. People who hit their heads when they fall may suffer from a traumatic brain injury. These injuries can range from a relatively minor concussion to a life-threatening injury, such as bleeding in the brain, skull fractures, or torn brain tissue.
