Slip and Fall
A slip-and-fall accident can occur nearly anywhere, on public or private property, indoors or outdoors. A slip-and-fall injury can occur because of hazards such as:
- Adverse weather conditions
- Uneven sidewalks
- Potholes
- Poorly lit or unmarked pathways or stairs.
- Slippery tiling
- Unbalanced flooring
- Rippled carpet
- Obstructions on the floor or walkway.
Common Knee Injurys
As car accident attorneys know, knee injuries are common in car accidents. The force of a collision can injure the knee by slamming it into the steering column, dash, or door of the
vehicle or twisting the knee. A car accident can cause several different injuries and treatment can vary depending on which part of the knee is injured.
Symptoms of a Knee Injury
The signs and symptoms of a knee injury are dependent on the severity of the injury. A knee injury caused by a car accident can be very mild or serious, which depends on the type of collision, the speed at time of impact, and many other factors. Car accident attorneys will advise clients to follow-up with a doctor after a car accident because sometimes a knee injury is not felt immediately after a car accident, but over time the pain will get worse and the knee begins to feel unstable under the body. If there is a severe tear or several parts of the knee are injured the pain will be severe. The symptoms of a knee injury may include:
- Mild to severe pain in the knee
- Clicking or popping in the knee
- Difficulty walking or running
- Limited motion of the joint
- Tenderness with pressure
- Pain while squatting
- Knee joint locking
-
