Slip and Fall Lawyer in Folsom
Providing the best legal representation
When our injury attorneys represent clients who have suffered a catastrophic injury, we assess the overall effect on their lives. We do not evaluate simply how a person feels immediately after a car accident or slip and fall. Instead, we look at the full scope of not only physical injuries and limitations but also home life, work, and an individual’s ability to enjoy life.
When you slip and fall on another person’s property, it can be unclear who is responsible for the accident and your injuries. The uncertainty surrounding the situation presents a problem since medical bills and the potential loss of income tied to your recovery can put you in a challenging financial situation.
At J.G. Winter Law, we know you have several questions regarding your slip and fall accident, and our Folsom personal injury attorneys are here to answer them and walk you through the legal process. Led by Attorney Jeremy Winter, we can help you obtain the necessary compensation to cover medical costs and other accident-related expenses.

Common types of injuries associated with slip-and-fall accidents
Broken bones
Broken bones occur when there is more pressure on the bone than it can withstand. A fall can cause unnecessary force on multiple bones in your body, such as hip, wrist, or ankle bones. Additionally, people tend to put their arms out in front of them as they fall, which can break or fracture your wrist. The older you are, the more likely you will sustain a broken bone or fracture from a slip and fall.
Knee damage
The impact from falling on your knees can result in knee damage. Bones and ligaments make up the knee, and it can take months to heal fully from a knee injury. In addition to ligament tears, you may dislocate your patella. Regardless of the knee damage, you may require reconstruction surgery immediately or in the future.
Traumatic brain injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) may occur when your head hits the ground or an object during a fall. You do not need to hit your head to suffer from a TBI; they can result from other movements like whiplash. These are among the most severe injuries you can sustain, and you might have trouble realizing you have a head injury. This is why it is essential to seek medical attention after a blow or jolt to the head.
Shoulder dislocation and muscle strains
You might hit or jolt your shoulder as you fall. Even though it may not seem like a severe injury, a dislocated shoulder or strained muscle can interfere with your life. It may be painful to put on a shirt and do other everyday activities.

I want to thank Attorney Jeremy and his team at J.G. Winter Injury Lawyers for how much they have done for me. I can’t imagine going through this process alone. Having them in my corner was like having a guardian Angel on my shoulder; I felt like I was part of their family.

They really know their stuff, and won’t back down from anyone. I hope you never go through what I went through but if you ever find yourself badly injured and needing help, look no further than J.G.
