Slip and Fall Brain Injury
When a person slips and falls, he or she is suddenly at the mercy of gravity and whatever objects or surfaces happen to be in the immediate vicinity. Even though it might seem that the potential damage done by a fall would be fairly minimal, given the relatively small distance to the floor from any point of one’s body, this is not the case. Shelves, desks, hard floors, and other dangers can transform a slip, trip, or stumble into a life-altering event if one suffers a brain injury. Head trauma is likely to result when an unhindered impact occurs.
If unsafe conditions, including slippery or uneven floors and trip hazards, have resulted in a blow to the head, contact the Harrisburg slip and fall brain injury attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511.
Brain Injuries are Never Minor
Sometimes brain injuries such as concussions are referred to as mild, but this is misleading. There is no such thing as a minor brain injury. Because many of the long-term consequences are slow to appear and difficult to diagnose, a victim may get the false impression that they have escaped with little lasting damage. But virtually any brain injury has the capacity to at least subtly alter one or more aspects of an injured person’s life. Some of the most common forms of brain injury and their effects include:
- Concussions
- Cerebral Hemorrhaging
- Contusions
- Memory Loss
- Depression
