Slip and fall victims are subject to the following types of physical and emotional injuries:

• Sprains and strains
• Fractures
• Head injuries that can include internal bleeding
• Spinal cord damage
• Cuts and abrasions
• Dislocations
• Emotional trauma such as anxiety or PTSD

After falling, it's entirely possible that you don't feel immediate pain. It's a traumatic experience, especially when it occurs in your workplace or in a public setting, and your first instinct might be to get up and shake it off. Immediately following a slip and fall, it's important that you:

• Report the accident
• Take pictures of the scene, including any slippery substances or uneven surfaces
• Contact your primary care provider
• Call an attorney
