You didn’t plan on it, it just happened. You already have enough to deal with and now you have to deal with a whole new set of issues like figuring out why it happened, dealing with insurance companies, possibly your employer and maybe even lawyers. This can be even more stressful if you’re trying to do all this while in pain.

A variety of injuries can happen from a slip and fall accident whether at work, at home, skiing or just walking down an uneven sidewalk. Some injuries are relatively minor, such as a few bruises or scrapes and will heal on their own. Other injuries may be more serious, such as strained or pulled muscles that if left untreated may not heal properly. This can lead to chronic pain. If treated correctly and early on, pain can be controlled and other factors like range of motion and flexibility can be maintained or improved, meaning you can use your body to its fullest.

Even if you think you’re okay, it is very important to see a doctor as soon as possible after a slip and fall to make sure you’re alright. Better safe than sorry! Many problems, including bruising, broken bones and inflammation, sometimes take several days to show themselves. Dr. Jarrod Wilner will give you a thorough examination to properly diagnose your condition, assess how serious it is, and recommend treatment.
