A Massachusetts woman was recently awarded a $2 million settlement for injuries she suffered after a Connecticut slip and fall accident. The woman, who was visiting the Noah Webster House in West Hartford, sustained multiple injuries due to the fall.
This case highlights a number of the types of injuries you might suffer if you’re faced with a slip and fall accident. While you most often think of skinned knees and maybe a sprained ankle, some of these types of accidents result in serious injuries.
Take, for instance, the circumstances surrounding this woman’s injuries. The fall resulted in a traumatic brain injury which was significantly more serious than a typical fall might be.
Other injuries that may be sustained when you slip and fall might include:
- Broken bones
- Internal organ damage
- Whiplash
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Knee injuries
This is certainly not an exhaustive list of injuries that could occur from a slip and fall accident, but it does demonstrate that an injury of this type may be more severe than you would think.
