Slip and fall accidents ( and trip and fall ) are the leading cause of injuries among the older portion of Delray Beach’s population. Due to its lure for retirement, South Florida claims the highest percentage of Americans over the age of 60. For this reason, there are proportionately more slip and fall and trip and fall injuries in Boca Raton, Delray Beach and South Florida than in other areas of the United States.
Slip and Fall Facts:
Over 9 million people are injured in slip and fall accidents each year according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is estimated that close to 25% of senior adults in South Florida are injured in falls each year and many are hospitalized in local hospitals such as Delray Medical Center for these types of injuries. In fact, accidents involving slip and falls are the primary cause of deaths caused by injury for the elderly in the United States. The majority of these falls can be prevented by using common sense and taking care of hazards immediately, but many property and business owners fail to take necessary precautions to prevent these types of ‘premise liability injuries.’
