Slip and fall accidents happen everywhere. They occur in restaurants, entertainment venues, grocery stores, and office buildings. People sustain fall-related injuries in just about any place where people walk or gather together.
Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention documents fall-related injuries as a major problem. Among older adults, falls contribute to more emergency center visits and hospitalizations than any other cause. They frequently contribute to young children’s non-fatal injuries. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regularly records falls as the leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities.
We believe that it is important to know the facts before you or a loved one sustains an injury during a fall. We created Our New Richmond Slip and Fall FAQ to provide information you need to know.
