Trip and Fall Accidents Happen, Even in Clallam County, WA

As we grow older, we begin to lose some of our agility and physical abilities. Knee pain that wasn’t there ten years ago now requires physical therapy. One wrong movement of your body can put you on the couch for days. An unexpected fall could put you there for weeks. And we aren’t just talking about the kind of falls that happen at the Port Angeles park.

Trip and fall accidents can happen anywhere. They can happen in your own home, even. If a rug is not secured properly or there is water in a place it shouldn’t be, you are putting yourself in danger in your own house.

The same things put people in danger in public places. If there is water or liquid where it shouldn’t be, or there is an insecure rug on the floor, businesses are putting their customers and clients at risk for accidents. When we walk into one of these places, we put our trust in them that we will not be injured in their establishment. Eating at our favorite restaurant, like the Dockside Grill or The 3 Crabs, shouldn’t change from eating a good meal to taking a visit to the emergency room.

But what if you do trip and fall in a Clallam County business public place?

These accidents can be debilitating, involving consequences that can hinder you from going about your daily life. Injuries from a trip and fall accident could keep you from driving your car, going to work, and picking up your young children. And paying the hospital bills, taking unpaid vacation days, and expensive physical therapy adds up. Unfortunately, it can add up to be more than you can pay.

Regardless of whether or not you are having trouble paying for your injuries, it is important that you seek compensation after your trip and fall accident. Many of us shy away from a fight and sit back when we could be receiving something we deserve. You don’t need to feel ashamed or embarrassed for fighting for what is yours. You were wrongfully injured when you tripped and fell, and the Clallam County business should help you recover from your injuries.
