A wet floor in a store or an icy pathway are just two of the ways a slip and fall can occur. This type of accident can be the cause of broken bones, a head injury, or the exacerbation of a previously stable condition. The trauma of a fall can take a long time to heal. This means that you will need compensation for missed work, medical bills, rehabilitation and your past and future pain and suffering.
