Have you ever been injured in a fall—whether on the job or otherwise—that either could have been avoided or was the result of a different party’s actions or inactions? If you answered yes, it could be in your best interest to reach out to our team. You do not have to suffer through this incident alone, and we can help inform you of your legal options and represent you in the process should you choose to pursue a legal claim. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX catastrophic personal injury lawyers take a look at common incidents in which a person may endure a falling injury, and discuss how a skilled and experienced Dallas personal injury lawyer can help you understand your rights.

Slip and Fall Incidents

One of the most common falling injuries we see involve slip and falls. These incidents occur when an individual loses their footing, typically due to a hazardous condition, and suffers injuries as a result. These incidents can be both sudden and shocking, and for several people, result in lifelong conditions or health complications. For instance, if a person were to land hard on their tailbone or other area of the back, outcomes could range from minor cuts or bruises to spinal cord damage and trauma, depending on the force of impact among other factors.

If you were involved in a slip and fall incident, it is important to seek appropriate medical attention. Even if you do not think you have suffered any serious damage, there could be internal bleeding, swelling, and more that you may be unaware of. After seeking medical care, reach out to the team at Crain Brogdon, LLP for a consultation to learn about your legal options.

Falling on the Job

Another frequent cause of a falling injury can also include performing routine tasks while on the job. Take, for example, individuals that work in the construction field. The conditions largely depend on the job itself, including the site, type of task to be completed, and what tools/equipment are used. When constructing buildings and other structures with multiple floors, a fall from practically any height can be serious and even fatal. When you schedule your consultation, we will help you understand the laws that could apply and what options you may have, if any, for pursuing compensation.

Falling from Heights While on Someone Else’s Property

There are several factors that can influence the outcome of your case, including if you were found to be trespassing on another person’s property or if you were an invited guest. Premises liability may be a factor in determining the outcome of your matter, and we are ready to help you understand your options. Do not hesitate to contact our team and ask about your rights under personal injury law.
