Fall Statistics Show Elderly Most Vulnerable

Building codes and safety standards are established in order to protect the public in those spaces. If any of the above areas are particularly dangerous, they should be equipped with proper warning signs or closed to public traffic altogether. In addition, all walkways and floors should be safe and free from slipping and tripping hazards. When safety standards are not upheld, visitors, workers or guests are in danger. Sadly, when danger is available and if the elderly are near the elderly become subject to it. This is why businesses should be held to the standard to keep their premises safe.

The elderly are especially prone to falls. Every year in the United States, one in three people over 65 will experience a fall, and more than 15,000 people aged 65 or older died as a result of a fall in one recent year.

Consider these statistics from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC):

1 in 3 adults aged 65 and older falls each year.

Nearly one in three of those adults will have injuries severe enough to affect their ability to live independently. The falls may also increase the likelihood of an early death.

Older adults are hospitalized for fall-related injuries five times more often than they are for injuries from other causes.

ER departments treat about 2.5 million fall injuries among older adult each year, and about one-third of those patients are admitted to the hospital for treatment.

Types Of Injuries After Slip And Falls

In 2013, the medical bills for falls among the elderly totaled $34 billion, according to the CDC.

The CDC reports these kinds of injuries among senior patients who have fallen:

About three-fourths of fall deaths, were caused by brain injuries and injuries to the lower extremities

Fractures were the most common injuries and account for about 61 percent of the total treatment costs

Our attorneys understand that serious accident injuries can have a long-lasting impact on your life, and we will work hard to help you obtain compensation for your medical costs, property damage, lost time at work, and pain and suffering.

Personal injury cases can arise from a wide variety of accidents and other situations. Car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, exposure to toxic substances, and more are all avoidable circumstances that can lead to the unnecessary injury to a victim. Often, victims suffer serious injuries that leave them facing a difficult recovery or even a permanent disability. When that happens, victims should be able to focus on their health and recovery, not the complex and often frustrating details of a legal case.

When you are injured or become ill because of a dangerous drug, defective medical device, or a toxic consumer product, you are very likely not the only person to suffer. When a product harms a large number of people, a court may determine that the case can be filed as a mass tort action, which saves time, effort, and money for each individual plaintiff. Our mass tort attorneys are prepared to take on major manufacturers to get you the compensation you deserve.
