The most frequent traumatic falls throughout the United States are attributed to faulty equipment like ladders and scaffolding or human errors like intoxication and inattention. There are several factors that determine the probability of serious injury when dealing in traumatic falls:

• distance of fall
• landing surface
• orientation of falling
• whether or not the fall was broken

According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration falls among children and adolescents account for over 3 million emergency room visits each year and account for nearly 6% of childhood deaths due to trauma. In terms of adults, more than 50% of nonoccupational falls in addition to 17% of occupational falls are associated with alcohol use.

Behind auto related accidents, falls are the most common cause of spinal cord damage. Slips, trips and falls have a more negative affect on persons above the age of forty-five as osteoporosis and other similar diseases that can leave an elder in harm’s way. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident or injury that has resulted in spinal cord damage you may be entitled to compensation for both injuries and pain and suffering. Finding an attorney that you can trust can be difficult especially with the additional emotional and financial stress you are under from the accident.
