Types of Injury Cases Our Franklin Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Handle

Slip and fall accidents can occur in various settings, from grocery stores and restaurants to private residences and public walkways. These incidents often result in serious injuries that can significantly impact your life. At GriffithLaw Injury Lawyers, our Franklin slip and fall accident lawyers have extensive experience handling a wide range of injury cases, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve. Below are some common types of injuries we handle:

1. Fractures and Broken Bones

Slip and falls frequently lead to fractures in hips, wrists, ankles, and other bones. These injuries can require extensive medical treatment, including surgery and rehabilitation, leading to significant financial burdens.  

2. Head Injuries and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs)

Impacts to the head during a fall can cause concussions, skull fractures, and more severe TBIs. These injuries can result in long-term cognitive and physical impairments, affecting your ability to work and perform daily activities.

3. Spinal Cord Injuries

Falls can cause damage to the spinal cord, leading to paralysis, loss of sensation, and other neurological deficits. These injuries often require lifelong care and support, making adequate compensation crucial.

4. Soft Tissue Injuries

Sprains, strains, tears, and lacerations are common in slip and fall accidents. These injuries can cause significant pain and discomfort, limiting your mobility and requiring extended recovery periods.

5. Back and Neck Injuries

Slip and falls can cause herniated discs, whiplash, and other back and neck injuries. These injuries can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and the need for ongoing medical treatment.

When Can Franklin, TN Victims Sue Property Owners for Their Injuries?

Not just any slip, trip, or fall is necessarily the fault of the property owner. The person responsible for the property is only liable for an injury if he or she knew or should have known about the unsafe condition on the property.

This may sound a little confusing, and the truth is that it really can be. Although some accidents may seem very similar on the surface, there are many important factors that affect a victim’s rights that may not always be obvious. To help you understand when a premises liability lawsuit might be appropriate, here are some examples:

  • Grocery store employees know that the ceiling over the produce department leaks every time it rains, but it has never been repaired. A shopper slips and falls in the resulting puddled water and breaks her wrist.
  • An employee stocking shelves at a retail store accidentally slices open a bottle of motor oil, which leaks onto the floor. The spill isn’t cleaned up adequately, and a shopper twists his back because of the slippery footing.
  • A deck collapses during a party at a private residence. Multiple people are seriously hurt in the accident.
  • There is a loose carpet in a poorly lit motel stairway. A guest trips over the rug and sustains multiple injuries in the fall.

The Difficulty for Tennessee Victims of Unsafe Properties

The rules for premises liability cases in Tennessee can be very complicated, especially for an average person who doesn’t have a background in law. Although the law allows people hurt on unsafe premises to pursue financial compensation from the property owner, it is up to the victims to “prove” their cases in a legal sense. They will ultimately have to show that:

  • They were hurt because of the unsafe condition.
  • The property owner has a legal responsibility to maintain reasonably safe premises.
  • The property owner or employees knew or should have known about the unsafe condition.
  • The property owner or employees failed to address the issue in a timely fashion.

Additionally, victims often need the help of experienced attorneys and expert witnesses to help calculate and prove the true extent of their losses, which might include:

  • Financial losses, such as medical bills and lost wages
  • Future medical needs
  • Loss of the ability to work
  • Changes in the ability to live a “normal” life
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional losses related to the injury

Unfortunately, property owners and their insurance companies often have a lot of experience defending themselves against claims from victims of slips and falls. Most victims of unsafe premises don’t fully understand their rights, how the insurance industry works, or what to expect from the legal process. By working with our experienced slip and fall lawyers who have successfully handled premises liability cases in the past, victims can take steps to truly “even the playing field” between themselves and large companies.
