Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/02/2016 -- As a work injury lawyer who serves Atlanta and nearby Georgia cities, Darwin F. Johnson sees a high volume of slip and fall cases. To help give victims a better understanding of their injuries, Johnson released an article that explains what can happen when a slip and fall ensues at work.
According to Johnson, broken hips, torn ligaments and neck, spine and skull injures are the most common. Hip fractures are prevalent among older workers, so people over 55 should be aware that they are at a higher risk for breakage. Johnson noted that 95 percent of hip fractures are cause by a slip and fall. Women should be especially careful, as they are at a higher risk than men for the bone-weakening disease, osteoporosis. And thus can experience fracturing more easily than any other demographic.
Torn ligaments are also common. Where broken bones are caused by overwhelming impacts, torn ligaments come about from the awkward twists that ensue during a fall. Sprains and strains are two common types of torn ligaments, and involve stretching until tears occur.
Darwin F. Johnson is one of the best known workman's comp lawyers in Greater Atlanta, and has a great deal of experience working with workers whose employers and insurance companies neglect their fault in injury cases. When an accident happens, time off of work and medical bills can lead to serious financial strife, and victims should not be responsible for paying those debts.
