Have you ever noticed a puddle while walking through a store and thought to yourself, “Hmmmm, this could be dangerous.”

Perhaps you have and just simply walked on. What would have happened if you had not noticed the puddle and slipped?  Even a simple slip can cause trauma to the neck, low back or head. Here are some injury symptoms you should be aware of:

Weakness, numbness and tingling of the arm, hands and fingers and loss of strength indicative of a disc injury to your neck area

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is very important that you be seen by a medical professional right away.

After a slip and fall accident it is important to be aware of any of these symptoms as they can arrive days after.  Injuries are very common during any episode in which trauma is experienced by the body. Falling down can be very traumatic on your body.

These kinds of injuries are very common when one falls on an area that is dangerous and not properly maintained, and often cause the victim a great deal of damages and losses.
