Each day 2,000 people in the U.S. seek emergency medical care for injuries related to a fall. Falls are the leading cause of injuries for people over age 24. They are the second leading cause of injury for people ages 10-24. Common injuries from a fall include wrist fractures, knee injuries, concussions and broken bones. 95% of all hip fractures are caused by falls. In 70-80% of all falls, the injured person will heal with time, but 20-30% of the injuries are severe requiring ongoing medical care and significant time off work. Understanding you right to recovery for injuries occurring as a result of a fall in in a store or business may take help from a personal injury lawyer in Fresno who specializes in premises liability.
