Make Sure A Night On The Town Doesn’t Turn Into A Slip And Fall Injury

With many venues now fully open to the public once again and people heading out for a night on the town, finally, it can be tempting to get dressed to the nines to make the most out of your evening.  You can certainly do that, but this time of year you will want to be careful that you don’t find yourself in a situation where you experience a Connecticut slip and fall accident and are injured for a long period of time.

There is no sure fire way to completely avoid an injury when you’re headed out on the town, but there are some precautions you can take so that you can minimize your risk.  If you think ahead and take some of these precautions you will be much less likely to get injured and you will be able to enjoy a night out on the town that has been a long time in coming.

1. Worry about your footwear.  High heels and slippery dress shoes without any grip can be a real danger for you when you’re out.  It may not be as fancy, but even a flat or a pair of sneakers will do just fine so you don’t find yourself slipping all over the parking lot on the way into dinner.

2. Walk gingerly in icy spots.  While crews do their best to clear sidewalks and entrances to restaurants and theaters, there are often a few pieces of ice that are missed.  These small patches of ice can do real damage to your body and ruin your night by causing an injury.  Walk softly around places with potential ice or snow.

3. Do not walk on wet floors.  This can be challenging given the time of year that we are in, but wet floors equal slippery floors and no matter what footwear you are in you may sustain an injury if you cross a wet floor.  This is especially important if there is a sign out warning you of the wet floor.

There is nothing more enjoyable than a night out on the town with your loved ones or friends and now that we can all do this safely we need to make sure that we are mindful of the hidden dangers that may exist when visiting your favorite spot for a drink or a show.  If you are aware that there are certain dangers along the way you will be much less likely to have a Connecticut slip and fall accident and get injured, ruining your night out.
