Injuries from falls are among the least understood and most complex cases in personal injury law.

Unfortunately, many people, even attorneys, underestimate the complex nature of diagnosing, treating and recovering compensation from fall-related injuries.

At Commander+Pound, we understand falls often involve very complex medical issues, including traumatic brain injury, broken bones, spinal cord injuries and joint and muscle damage.

Often times, the full extent of the injuries are not apparent until days, or even months or years after a serious fall.

Commander+Pound has the medical professionals able to properly diagnose injuries sustained in a fall, as well as help you determine the long-term prognosis for additional medical issues.

And our attorneys have experience in building a comprehensive case that takes all of the issues into account when seeking damages from a negligent property owner, landlord or business whose negligence contributed to your injuries.

ABOUT FALLS

• Falls most often occur in older adults - about 1 in 3 adults over 65 fall each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
• 3 in 10 falls result in moderate to severe injuries that decrease mobility, make it hard to live independently and increase the chances of an early death.
• Older adults are hospitalized five times more often from falls that from injuries from all other causes.

COST OF FALLS

• Direct cost of medical bills and other care from falls among senior citizens is estimated at $19 billion a year. The average cost of medical bills in a fall is estimated at almost $20,000.

TYPES OF INJURY

• Traumatic brain injury, and injuries to legs, hips and feet account for 78 percent of fatalities.
