Winter is still in full swing, and January is one of the coldest months in Memphis. Cold weather can mean icy conditions on any given day. And unfortunately, it can also mean a slip and fall accident that can cause a severe injury. Learn the most common types of injuries from slipping on ice.
Muscle and Ligament Strains
Falling on ice can cause muscle and ligament strains. While a strain injury may be typically considered mild, a completely torn or ruptured ligament can be very painful and affect the limbs when joints aren’t stable.
Fractures/Broken Bones
Slipping and falling on ice can easily cause broken bones. And depending on where the break is, the consequences can be devastating. For example, breaking a hip bone can mean intensive surgery involving screws or a total hip replacement. This is less severe than an arm fracture, for example, that simply requires a cast.

Spinal Cord Injuries
When a slip and fall accident causes a spinal cord injury, the damage is not reversible. Spinal cord injuries can cause a host of problems, including loss of movement, sensation, body function, and even complete paralysis.
