A Publix slip and fall accident may be particularly devastating because it can happen as you go about your everyday life. Liquid from broken bottles, spilled drinks, or leaking refrigerators can make floors slick. Produce that is dropped on the floor and stepped on creates a clear residue that can make floors slick if not cleaned up. Rainwater tracked in by customers or splashes in from the outside can make store entrances slippery. Even a freshly mopped floor can pose a slip and fall hazard if employees fail to notify shoppers of the danger.

People often think that slip and fall accidents are relatively minor. Many times, the injuries they cause may be nothing more than cuts and bruises. However, the shock experienced when you slip or loss of control when you fall can lead to severe injuries, such as:

• Broken bones: You could break or fracture a bone if you hit a hard object or try to catch yourself when falling. The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) shared that an estimated 5% of falls result in broken or fractured bones.
• Traumatic brain injury: Serious injuries may occur if you hit your head on a hard object, such as the floor, ground, or countertop, as you fall. Sprained wrists or ankles: If you try to catch yourself from falling, the pressure placed on your wrists or ankles may result in a severe sprain.
• Strained muscles or ligaments: The twisting motion of a fall can strain muscles or tear ligaments.
• Deep cuts and lacerations: Sharp edges can cause deep cuts and lacerations when you fall.

Not every Publix slip and fall accident leads to a severe injury. But if you were severely hurt in a slip and fall accident at Publix, you should talk to a St. Petersburg personal injury lawyer from Wolfson & Leon to find out what rights to the compensation you may have.

People who get hurt in a slip and fall may choose not to pursue legal help because they think they are clumsy or that the accident was their fault. But when you are badly injured due to someone else's negligence, you should be stuck with costly medical bills or struggle financially because you can't work as you recover.

The St. Petersburg accident attorneys at Wolfson & Leon work on behalf of their clients to get the best settlement possible when they have been gravely injured. If you were hurt in a Publix slip and fall accident, you could find out your legal options by calling us today for a free evaluation of your case.
