Some of the most common personal injury accidents that happen in New York City are those that involve slip or trip and falls. Often, the injuries that people face after being involved in a slip and fall accident involve broken bones and a few bruises here and there. However, there are instances in which a slip and fall accident can be very serious and result in life-changing injuries that make it so a person can never walk again or needs to undergo very serious surgery. Slip and fall accidents are especially dangerous to elderly people who have brittle bones. In some of the most severe cases, slip and fall accidents can even result in traumatic brain injuries and spine injuries, that may ultimately make it so the injured party never walks again.
