Although a slip-and-fall accident can occur in any Austin location, too many occur in job sites like restaurants and retail businesses. These types of sudden falls can be costly and extremely painful.

If you’ve been injured in a slip & fall at work in Austin Texas, there's a potential that, in addition to medical costs, you'll also rack up lost pay from not being able to go back to work right away. If your condition is severe, you might require surgery or therapy, adding to the medical costs that you cannot afford to cover out of pocket.

Typical Physical Harm Brought on by a Slip & Fall Accident
  • Fractures are the three most prevalent forms of injury after a slip & fall accident.
  • An injury to a muscle or tendon, which are connective tissue bands that connect muscles to bones, is referred to as a strain. Slipping on damp flooring or descending stairs can result in sprains and strains.
  • Your hands, feet, arms, legs, or face could sustain cuts or lacerations if you slip on wet stairs or a slippery floor. Broken glass and sharp edges are common injuries at construction and other job sites.
  • Slipping and hitting a hard surface frequently results in spine and neck injuries. In addition to causing terrible agony, herniated discs and damaged spinal cord may need to be surgically repaired. Employees that experience this kind of pain frequently take days off work because of it. In other cases, people could grow reliant on painkillers to function and carry out their jobs if and when they return.
