These Common Slip-And-Fall and Accident Injuries Can Cause Long-Term Problems
If you’ve ever been in a highway accident, a boating accident, or been involved in a slip-and-fall accident, you likely know one feeling – the feeling of pain. Sometimes the pain goes away instantly and you’re back to normal in no time. But if you suffer serious injuries in an auto accident or a slip-and-fall – and if your medical bills begin to pile up – it may be wise to speak with an attorney.

What to do in an injury caused by an accident
First, get the medical attention you need. There’s no need to be in a constant state of pain or discomfort following a highway accident or a slip-and-fall.
Next, if your injuries are permanent, severe or long-lasting, seek the counsel of an attorney you trust. In the state of Florida, for both auto accidents and slip-and-fall accidents, the statute of limitations if four years from the time of the accident. So, if your slip-and-fall occurred at a store in Orange County or Seminole County six months or 1 year ago, and your pain and injuries are continuing, you can still seek damages.
When a slip-and-fall happens at a business and causes you serious injury, you have a right to be compensated. Businesses are expected to put your safety first without exception.

Types of common accident injuries
Common injuries from slip-and-fall and auto accidents may include:
- Neck injuries – These can include herniated discs in the cervical (neck) area that may cause intense pain.
- Whiplash – This injury is often caused by a severe jerk to the head, and can include neck pain, stiffness and headaches.
- Back injuries – These can include herniated discs in the lumbar (lower back) area that may cause intense pain.
- Head injuries – These can include concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Concussions sometimes clear up on their own, but TBIs can permanently alter your ability to function.
- Fractures – Broken bones can occur almost anywhere – hand, wrist, leg, neck, back, tailbone, pelvis. Some fractures heal quickly. Others linger and can cause long-term pain.
- Strains and sprains – Tendons, ligaments and other muscles may be strained in a fall, causing a type of soft tissue injury that may require treatments such as physical therapy.
