Common Slip and Fall Injuries in New Haven

Slip and fall accidents can lead to injuries ranging from minor to catastrophic. Some of the most common injuries we see include:

Soft Tissue Injuries

Strains, sprains, and tears in muscles, tendons, or ligaments are common. These injuries can be difficult to diagnose, and their full impact may not be immediately apparent.

Head Injuries

Many slip and fall accidents result in head injuries, such as concussions or more severe trauma. Head injuries can cause lasting effects, so it's important to seek medical attention if you've experienced any head trauma.

Broken Bones

Fractures in the arms, legs, and other bones are common after slip and fall accidents. Treatment for these injuries may include surgery, long-term physical therapy, and rehabilitation.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can result in severe spinal injuries, including paralysis. These injuries require immediate medical attention and can lead to significant medical expenses and loss of independence.

Cuts and Bruises

While seemingly minor, cuts and bruises can be indicative of a more serious injury. They may require stitches and can result in scarring.

At Goff Law Group, we help New Haven residents recover compensation for a wide range of slip and fall injuries, no matter how severe.

When to Pursue a Slip and Fall Claim in New Haven

Property owners in New Haven have a legal responsibility to maintain their premises and ensure they are safe for visitors. If you’ve been injured due to hazardous conditions, you may have a valid claim for compensation. Our experienced slip and fall lawyers will help assess your case and guide you through the legal process. Factors that may influence whether you have a claim include:

  • Was the property owner aware of the hazardous condition?
  • Did the owner fail to fix or warn about the dangerous condition?
  • Was the hazard preventable or foreseeable?

If the property owner’s negligence contributed to your fall, our legal team will fight to hold them accountable and seek compensation for your injuries.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident in New Haven

It’s important to take the right steps immediately following a slip and fall accident. Here’s what you should do:

  1. Report the Accident – Notify the property owner or manager about the incident as soon as possible.
  2. Seek Medical Attention – Even if you don’t feel injured right away, it’s essential to get checked by a healthcare professional to rule out serious injuries.
  3. Document the Scene – If possible, take pictures of the hazardous condition that caused your fall and any visible injuries.
  4. Preserve Evidence – Keep all medical records, receipts, and documentation related to your accident.

After taking these steps, reach out to Goff Law Group for a free consultation. We’ll evaluate your case and help you understand your legal options.

Who Is Responsible for Your Safety in New Haven?

Connecticut law categorizes visitors into three groups, which impacts the level of responsibility a property owner has to ensure safety:

Invitees

These are people invited to the property for business purposes (e.g., customers in a store). Owners must ensure invitees are safe and warn them of known dangers.

Licensees

Social guests who enter with permission. Property owners owe them a duty to avoid causing harm and must warn them of known hazards.

Trespassers

Property owners have a limited duty to trespassers, mainly ensuring they are not intentionally harmed.

What Compensation Can You Pursue After a Slip and Fall Accident in New Haven?

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to various types of compensation. The damages you can recover include:

  • Medical Expenses – Past and future medical costs related to your injuries.
  • Lost Wages – Compensation for any income lost due to your injury.
  • Pain and Suffering – For the physical and emotional toll of the accident.
  • Punitive Damages – In cases of severe negligence, punitive damages may be awarded.

Connecticut follows the comparative fault rule, which means your compensation could be reduced if you are partially at fault for the incident. For example, if the court determines you were 20% responsible, you would receive 80% of your potential compensation.
