The Most Common Catastrophic Injuries in Pennsylvania Premises Liability Cases
There is a very large list of possible injuries one can get from an accident on someone else’s premises, including serious injuries that may be the basis for a premises liability lawsuit. The most common catastrophic injuries seen in these types of cases include:
- Torn Ligament and Muscle Strains: Such as the meniscus in the knee or a shoulder rotator cuff injury which can result in permanent pain in one’s daily life or limit mobility.
- Back and Neck Injuries: Injuries of the back or neck can leave someone permanently disabled or dealing with pain or movement restrictions for life. Sleeping and working may also become a challenge.
- Broken or Dislocated Bones: Bones take a while to heal and can often leave someone out of work for months. Broken or dislocated bones suffered in a premises liability accident can also involve a painful healing process.
- Lacerations or Deep Wounds: Most lacerations or deep cuts heal on their own, but some result in scarring which can be emotionally and psychologically damaging for people, especially when the scarring is on their face.
- Dog Bites or Animal Wounds: Dogs and other animals can be very strong, and wounds from domesticated animals can result in horrible scarring or nerve damage if the bite was deep enough.
- Drowning: This is a common occurrence when pools or private ocean areas are not properly regulated. If by chance the victim does not die, lack of oxygen can result in serious brain damage or long-term coma.
- Electrocution: Live wires can lead to electrocution injuries, especially near electric lines after storms. It is also a common injury near public pools.
- Brain Damage or Head Injuries: Falling and striking one’s head again the pavement or a hard surface can result in permanent impairment of cognition and other abilities. It can also result in internal bleeding of the brain, hemorrhage, stroke, etc.
- Burns: Even third degree burns can result in scars and a lengthy healing process. Serious burns can cause PTSD, serious scarring and skin damage, skin graft surgery, and even nerve damage that limits feeling and movement. Burns may be caused by anything from a fire to overheated liquids.
- Infections: An infection can happen when someone swims in a pool or has a wound and gets it dirtied by an area that should have been cleaned properly.
- Food-borne Illnesses: Food-borne illnesses are commonly seen in restaurants or banquet halls. Food poisoning, disease, E. coli, salmonella, or other bacteria and viruses can cause serious illnesses or even result in death.
