Slip and Fall Injuries: New Study Highlights Key Risk Factors Predicting Injury

Slip and fall accidents commonly cause lower leg injuries when people fall unexpectedly and cannot stop themselves gracefully. The torque and force the fall puts on their joints and bones can be severe and cause serious injury and pain.

In the medical community, the severity of a lower extremity injury stemming from a slip and fall accident is determined by several risk factors. Some people are more susceptible to leg injuries, such as a foot and knee injury from a slip and fall, than others and it could affect your personal injury case.

Our San Diego slip and fall attorneys recently discussed a medical study at our Jurewitz Law Group personal injury law firm website which attempts to predict the severity of lower extremity injuries to predict medical treatment and prognosis.
