New Jersey Slip & Fall Injury Attorneys
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that more than one million people suffer injuries in a slip and fall accident in the U.S. every year. These accidents can occur at a person’s home, at an office, factory or construction site, at your local grocery store or shopping mall or when walking down a sidewalk or through an airport or a parking lot. In many cases, these accidents could have been prevented if a property owner, business owner or occupant had taken proper precautions.

Common New Jersey Slip & Fall Injuries
The New Jersey accident and injury lawyers of Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. know that slip and fall accidents can vary in severity. Some of the common slip and fall injuries include:
- Sprains, strains and tears: A person who falls on an icy sidewalk or uneven floor may suffer a sprained ankle, foot, leg or wrist, strain the lower back or tear a muscle or ligament.
- Fractures: Whether you fall on a surface or from a height, you may suffer broken bones in your upper and lower body, including the wrists, ankles, legs, arms, shoulders, hips and collar bone.
- Spinal cord, back and neck injuries: When a person lands awkwardly, he or she may suffer injury to the vertebrae, or a herniated or ruptured disc, which can cause extreme pain or, in the worst cases, partial or total paralysis.
- Head and brain injuries: When a person’s head strikes a hard surface, a skull fracture, concussion, contusion or hemorrhaging can result. A severe blow to the head may cause traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is a condition that prevents a person from performing his or her daily functions at home or work. Symptoms of head and brain injuries include dizziness, confusion, memory loss, headaches, sensitivity to noise and light and depression. In some cases, a serious head or brain injury may cause a coma or death.
