Slip and fall injuries occur when someone slips, trips, or falls on public or private property. A significant number of slip and fall accidents could have been prevented if the property owner had exercised reasonable care for the safety of others. Dangerous conditions like uneven stairs, ill-placed items, wet floors, loose carpets, slippery tiles, and cracked public sidewalks are all factors that can lead to a slip and fall accident.
If you or a loved one has sustained injuries from a slip and fall accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may need an Oviedo slip and fall injury lawyer to help you seek compensation for your injuries.

Common Injuries Following a Slip and Fall Accident
As a victim of a slip and fall accident, you may experience one or more of the injuries highlighted below:
- Fractured bones: According to Healthline, the older the victim, the more likely they are to break a bone and suffer a disability after a slip and fall accident.
- Knee injuries: Both a medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in the knees can be very painful and often takes a long time to heal. Depending on the severity of the necessary knee ligament repair, the victim may need reconstructive surgery.
- Shoulder dislocation: Instinctively, many people reach out as they fall, and as a result, jar their shoulders. Dislocating or suffering a muscle strain to the shoulders can lead to surgery.
- Spinal cord injury: MedicineNet asserts that injury to the spinal cord can lead to loss of sensation in the lower parts of the body, complete or diminished muscle function, and the inability to control bladder and bowel movement.
