Tip Of The Day | Slips and Falls | Daytona Beach Nursing Home Injury Lawyer

Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate 234,000 people ages 15 and older go to the emergency department each year because they got hurt in the bathroom due to slips and falls. Two thirds of the injuries were in women and the injury rate increased with age, with people over 65  more likely to be injured and have a more serious injury, like a fracture. The study found two thirds of injuries happened in a shower or tub. To reduce the risk, add non-slip surfaces and grab bars both inside and outside the shower or tub.
