Broken Bones

You may have broken an arm or a leg at some point. Although very painful and inconveniencing, most broken
bones can heal well and have you functioning like before. In some cases, however, the break is so severe
as to pose a serious, immediate health risk. Workplace negligence and manufacturing errors can lead
to accidents and potentially serious bone breaks.

Broken bones have many causes, the most common being sudden impact or pressure. Many people have suffered
broken arms and legs from falls from ladders or slips on ice. Even a fall on ice can cause serious injuries.
Despite not being as far a fall as a ladder, ice often gives little to break your fall. Hitting the
ground in the wrong way, even from a short distance, can easily shatter bones.

Some people are more susceptible to broken bones than others. People who suffer from osteoporosis can
experience broken bones much more easily than those without the condition. For people at increased risk,
falling risks that some people would otherwise ignore can become serious dangers. Regardless of the
situation, employers and other property owners should make sure to remove or reduce the risk of falling,
especially if there are very young or elderly people around.
