Common Injuries That Senior Citizens Suffer In Accidents 

As our Brampton car accident lawyers and Brampton slip and fall injury lawyers know from experience, the elderly comprise one of the most vulnerable populations in our cities.

They can suffer a variety of injuries in accidents, based on their general health status, weight, age, etc. The injuries may include:

• Ankle, Wrist, Knee Sprains or Fractures

Hip fractures in older adults are a matter of concern. They may require surgery and this is always risky in older people. They cause a range of problems including urinary tract infection, lowered immunity, the need for extended hospital stay, physiotherapy, care-giving, etc.
