    What are the most common slip and fall cases?

    While many possible injuries may result from a slip and fall incident, the most common types of injuries in these cases include: 

    1. Knee injuries: It’s not uncommon for people to twist a knee as the result of a slip and fall incident. This complex collection of ligaments and bone is susceptible to painful injuries, such as MCL and ACL damage, which often require extensive recovery. 
    2. Dislocated shoulders: Shoulders are the most mobile joint in the human body, and it is more likely to experience a dislocation following a slip and fall
    3. Soft tissue injuries: Fall victims often sustain soft tissue injuries. These types of injuries occur in other parts of the body including ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
    4. Cuts and bruises: A cut or bruise can result from any kind of external or internal damage during a fall. While this may not appear to be a notable issue, disfigurement is considered a significant loss under Nevada’s personal injury law. 
    5. Chronic pain: Chronic pain that affects your ability to work, participate in activities you enjoyed before the accident, or permanently alters your level of mobility means your life will never be the same
    6. Broken bones: Broken bones are especially prevalent among elderly accident victims or those with bone conditions such as osteoporosis. If the fall applies enough pressure or force on the bones, the result can be fractures in several areas of the body. These fractures can be painful and restrictive, often requiring a long recovery process. 
    7. Traumatic brain injuries: Traumatic brain injuries can occur in a fall whether or not you hit your head. When the brain receives a jolt without direct impact, you can face serious harm. A traumatic brain injury can be dangerous after a slip and fall because you may be unaware of the brain damage you have incurred. Failure to treat a traumatic brain injury promptly can be detrimental to the victim’s life. 
    8. Sprained ankles or wrists: During a fall, you might make an unusual or uneven step. You might also put your arms out to try and cushion the fall. When the ligaments in your wrist or ankles tear during a fall, you may receive a sprain or a strain. Ligaments don’t receive a lot of blood, so sprains and strains can take a long time to heal. 
    9. Spine and nerve damage: Back injuries from falls can be particularly damaging to the body. Spinal and nerve damage can lead to many issues, including weakness, tingling, numbness, intense pain, and paralysis.

    Regardless of the type of injury you have endured, our expert slip and fall attorneys can handle even the most complex slip and fall claims.

    Adam S. Kutner reviews and testimonials

    I needed an attorney because I couldn’t deal with the accident on my own, so I needed someone else’s opinion about my accident.

    Well I heard about Adam Kutner through an associate of mine and I chose to seek him because I heard of him before also, so I thought he would be the best option for me.

    I was very happy with my settlement and it came quicker than I thought, in just a couple months I received a check in the mail.

    When I recommend Adam Kutner I would tell them that the settlement comes very quickly, and he is very helpful with transportation and whatever else you may need.”
