If you are the victim of a slip and fall or trip and fall accident and are suffering from any type of pain, it is important to obtain a thorough evaluation by a medical professional to ascertain any and all injuries incurred as a result of the accident. Many times, the adrenaline rush from the accident itself may mask an injury or create a situation where an injury may not be immediately discernable. Some injuries, such as concussions, injuries to vertebrae and discs, and fractures can only be identified through the appropriate diagnostic testing. Any delay in getting treatment for an injury can be detrimental to your health and recovery.
