The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that falls are the leading cause of injury-related emergency room visits in the United States, especially among adults aged 65 and older. Each year, millions of Americans experience fall-related injuries, ranging from broken bones to traumatic brain injuries. In Florida, wet surfaces, uneven sidewalks, and poor lighting are frequent hazards. Prompt medical evaluation and thorough documentation not only support recovery but also play a crucial role in strengthening a legal claim.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), traumatic brain injuries are a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. In 2021 alone, more than 69,000 people died from TBI-related causes, and over 214,000 hospitalizations occurred.
