Although slip and fall accidents may sound minor, they can result is extensive injuries to victims. A hard blow to the head if it hits the floor or another hard surface can cause serious injury to the brain, resulting in swelling, tissue tears, and bleeding. Falls can also cause injury to a person’s neck, back, or spinal cord. These types of injuries can require extensive medical attention and treatment. Victims may need weeks, even months, to recover if they were seriously hurt.
Insurance companies often rush to settle claims to keep their payouts as low as they can. The longer they wait, the greater the chance that additional treatment or costs will come up. But when you are seriously hurt, there are often multiple factors that can affect your recovery that you just don’t know at the time of your accident. Your doctors may find that you need more treatment, rehabilitation, or in-home care. Your recovery time may be longer than expected, which means you may not be able to go back to work. Unless you have enough vacation time saved up, you may find yourself financially strapped. Statistics reveal that victims of slip and fall accidents miss an average of 11 days of work. If you attempt to settle your claim on your own, you may find that you don’t receive enough compensation to pay for your medical bills in full and may not have enough income to support your family. The burden of added financial stress is not what an accident victim needs when they are recovering.
