Safety Is A Full-Time Job!
If you or a dear one has been injured in a slip and fall accident, you’d probably know that these mishaps are almost entirely avoidable. If only the owners or those in charge of the premises had taken reasonable care to ensure that the place is safe for lawful visitors, the mishap would never have occurred.
Unfortunately, a moment’s negligence can lead to a lifetime of consequences.
Contact a North Bay slip and fall injury lawyer without delay if you’ve suffered injuries in such an accident. You may be entitled to compensation.
Our 24 hour injury lawyers provide a swift, genuine, free and comprehensive evaluation of your case. This will help you to decide on further steps to be taken.
Types of Injuries
Slip and fall accidents result in a variety of injuries ranging from minor fractures, wounds and sprains to serious, permanent injuries to the head, neck, brain. Other vulnerable areas especially in older people involve the hip, leg and arm bones, facial and dental areas and the spine. Pregnant women are also extremely high-risk individuals. When the slip results in falls from a height or impact against a solid surface, the results can be even more devastating, leading to permanent disability or death.
