The Long Island, New York law firm of Susanne M. Roxbury, Esq. represent people who are seriously injured or killed in falls. New York slip and fall injuries often involve complex medical and legal issues requiring a skilled law firm with knowledge of spinal injuries, muscle and bone injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Slip and fall can occur in public property, private property such as restaurants, shopping malls, or even in someone’s house. It can also occur at work, or to an older adult in a nursing home due to lack of supervision. In fact, statistics indicate that majority of the falls inflict older adults. Falls are reported as the leading cause of death for older adults through out the country. Each year, more than 15,000 seniors are killed in falls and 2 million are treated in emergency rooms. Senior falls can lead to serious fractures of spine, hip, forearm, leg, and ankle and pelvic. Slip and fall do not only impair a person's physical ability, but it can also affect a person's psychological aspect. For example, an individual may suffer from panic attacks after a fall or may have a fear of public spaces. Some falls go unreported, especially among older adults. This can be for many reasons. One of the reasons is that the injury from the fall may not be readily apparent. Another is that the injured person may be embarrassed or afraid of losing his or her independence. This is unfortunate because undiagnosed fall injuries can actually increase the chances of someone being admitted to a residential living facility or a hospital. Susanne M. Roxbury is not only familiar with the medical and legal complications associated with fall injuries but is also cognizant of other factors involved in a person's life. She will work with you at a personal level and provide the diligent service you need. Call the Long Island, New York law firm of Susanne M. Roxbury, Esq. at 631-513-8887 to discuss your case. |
