Did you fall on a broken sidewalk? Did you trip when entering or exiting a building? Did you fall going up or down stairs in a defective stairwell? Did you fall from a balcony, bunk bed or window? Did you slip on a greasy or wet floor in a retail store? Or did merchandise fall on you in a discount store, knocking you to the floor, perhaps also causing head and neck injuries?
The term "slip-and-fall" accident may seem to imply a relatively minor accident when compared with a car accident or a construction accident. Unfortunately for many accident victims, however, slip-and-fall accidents are often anything but minor.

If you or your loved one fell from a height, there may have been a debilitating spinal cord injury.

You may suffer from chronic pain, which can bring its own complications requiring medication, therapy and limitations in your normal activities.
