After CDC report highlights consequences of slip and fall accidents, leading Las Vegas law firm shares free resources dedicated to prevention, awareness, and legal rights education.
(PRUnderground) April 6th, 2026
Las Vegas-based Tingey Injury Law Firm is providing free resources to slip and fall victims in the wake of data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showing that approximately 1 out of 5 falls results in a serious injury. These injuries often include broken bones, head trauma, and recurring pain that can affect victims’ well-being for years after the initial accident.
“There are so many consequences associated with slip and fall accidents, not just physical ones but financial and emotional ones, too,” said firm attorney Dean Tingey. “Falls remain one of the leading causes of injury across the United States, yet too many people don’t get the support they need after a fall and face big complications later.”
Tingey Injury Law Firm is one of the oldest and most reputable personal injury firms in Las Vegas. Through free consultations and free resources on their website, the firm’s slip and fall accident lawyers are working to help Nevadans get the medical and financial help they need before it’s too late.
“We see slip and fall victims missing their windows to file claims for financial relief or accepting insurance settlements that are too low to cover ongoing medical bills,” said Tingey. “We also see victims failing to get the initial diagnostic tests and medical care needed, and it comes back to bite them later.”
While many people assume a slip or trip is minor, the CDC reports that falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries. Falls can also lead to lasting complications such as chronic back pain, hip fractures, and mobility limitations. For older adults in particular, a fall can permanently alter independence and quality of life. The CDC reports that more than 1 out of 4 older people falls each year and that falling once doubles the chance of falling again.
The firm emphasizes that early medical evaluation is critical. Some injuries, especially head injuries and soft tissue damage, may not show severe symptoms right away. Without proper documentation and treatment, recurring pain conditions can become harder to connect to the original fall. This can complicate insurance claims and limit access to necessary compensation for ongoing care.
Tingey Injury Law Firm is committed to providing fresh content on its website to help victims understand how to handle slip and fall injuries, including what to do in the critical hours and days after an injury. Their site also features a free Case Analysis Tool. Victims can quickly input basic data to see if they have grounds for a viable personal injury case. In addition, the firm offers free consultations to slip and fall victims, including those who were injured on the job and need help from a Las Vegas work accident attorney.
Falls often occur in stores, Vegas casinos, parking lots, hotels, apartment complexes, and workplaces. In many cases, unsafe conditions such as wet floors, uneven pavement, poor lighting, or lack of warning signs contribute to the accident. Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. When that duty is not met, injured individuals may have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future treatment needs.
