Slip and fall accidents are a leading cause of injuries worldwide, accounting for a significant number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations each year.

The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) reports that slip and fall accidents account for over one million visits to the emergency room in the United States annually.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), slip and fall accidents are a significant cause of workplace injuries, resulting in lost workdays and decreased productivity.

Fractures and broken bones: Falls can cause fractures and broken bones, particularly in the wrists, arms, ankles, and hips. These injuries may require medical intervention, including casting, surgery, or physical therapy.

Head injuries: These accidents can lead to head injuries, ranging from mild concussions to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Head injuries can have long-term consequences and require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Back and spinal cord injuries: Falls can result in back injuries and spinal cord damage, leading to chronic pain, paralysis, or loss of motor function. Severe spinal cord injuries may require specialized medical care and long-term rehabilitation.

Soft tissue injuries: Sprains, strains, and bruises are common in slip and fall accidents. These injuries can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility.

Cuts and abrasions: Falls can cause these injuries, particularly when sharp or protruding objects are involved. These injuries may require cleaning, suturing, and proper wound care to prevent infection
