If you have a client who’s been injured from a slip and fall due to the fault of a private citizen, corporation, municipality or other party, we can demonstrate key considerations for impactful communication of their case issues. Visuals from Artery Studios can augment your photographic evidence, engineering reports, and other case evidence to demonstrate the mechanism of injury and trauma sequelae, such as when the body collides with the ground with violent shock to the anatomy.
Mechanism of injury portrayals can demonstrate hazardous liability issues such as:
- Sidewalk cracks, gaps, potholes or other uneven surfaces
- Wet, highly polished or slippery surfaces in a lobby or other commercial space
- Uncleared ice or snow
- Faulty stairs including uneven, unmarked or unlit
- Handrails that are damaged or missing
- Obstacles or detritus in thoroughfares
We can portray the details of the premises liability and the resultant tumble, trip or vulnerable fall that occurs with sometimes significant injury sequelae from sudden impact forces being applied to the tissues of the body. Some common injuries we have frequently illustrated include:
- Concussive brain injury from the head impacting the ground
- Other forms of traumatic brain injury – even resulting in death
- Spinal injuries including disc herniations, nerve compression and even spinal cord damage
- Facial trauma including loss of teeth, TMJ injury, nose fractures and other pathology of the skull and face
- Myofascial neck injuries including to the tendons and facet joints
- Wrist, elbow and shoulder injuries from instinctual bracing by the upper limb when falling
- Fractures – particularly of the hip
- Neck to tailbone (coccyx) fractures or soft tissue injury
- Lacerations from glass, sharp metal or other nearby objects with associated scarring
- Ankle or knee joint twisting with ligament or meniscus damage
- Injury sequelae such as the development of chronic pain
