Potential Causes of Slip and Fall Head and Brain Injuries

Our New Jersey and New York injury lawyers know that a slip and fall can result in a variety of serious injuries. How you are hurt often depends on how you fell, the surface upon which you fell, and the part of your body that you hit when you fell. When falls occur in certain ways, serious head injuries including concussions and traumatic brain injuries can result.

Whenever you hit your head in a fall, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible. The symptoms of a head injury may not always be readily apparent and a prompt diagnosis and treatment plan are important to your recovery. While you are at risk for a head injury whenever you hit your head, there are some circumstances that make a head injury more likely, such as:
  • Falling From a Height: if you fall from a ladder, a roof or a high surface, then you may hit your head with greater forcer and thereby increase the likelihood of a significant head injury.
  • Falling on a Hard Surface: if you slip and fall on a hard surface such as wood or concrete, then you may be more likely to significantly injure your head or brain.
  • Falling on Something that Penetrates Your Head: if you fall on something that cuts the skin and enters your head, then you have an increased risk of suffering a serious head or brain trauma.
