What Kinds Of Injuries Can VMA Technology Diagnose?

The most common personal injury cases we assist with involve motor vehicle accidents and slip-and-fall incidents. These types of accidents often result in significant spinal injuries, which can be challenging to diagnose without advanced imaging.

Personal injury attorneys frequently rely on our services to provide precise and objective diagnoses, helping to demonstrate the extent of their clients’ injuries and strengthen their cases.

Where Do Slip And Fall Incidents Tend To Occur, And Who Are The Most Common Victims?

Slip and fall incidents most often occur in businesses, such as retail stores, when spills, drips, or pooled liquids are not promptly cleaned up by staff. This negligence creates hazardous conditions that can lead to accidents, particularly for unsuspecting customers.

These accidents can happen year-round, even in dry climates, where surfaces may become unexpectedly slippery. Middle-aged and older adults are the most common victims of slip and fall incidents, as they are often more vulnerable to falls and their resulting injuries.

Mediserve Diagnostics & Therapeutics specializes in using Vertebral Motion Analysis (VMA) technology to diagnose spinal injuries that traditional imaging often overlooks. For over 15 years, they have worked alongside personal injury attorneys to ensure their clients receive accurate diagnoses and the targeted treatment necessary for full recovery.

By identifying injuries sustained during a slip and fall accident, patients not only experience better physical healing but also strengthen their legal cases for maximum financial recovery. When your clients receive the right diagnosis, it leads to the right treatment—and better outcomes for their health and legal claims.

Do Big Chain Or Big Box Stores Handle Slip And Fall Incidents Differently Than Smaller Stores?

Yes, the approach often differs between big chain stores and smaller businesses. Smaller stores typically work with local attorneys, which can make the resolution process more straightforward and collaborative.

In contrast, larger commercial stores often rely on corporate attorneys, who may be based out of town or even out of state. These corporate legal teams are often less responsive and may take a more adversarial stance, making it more challenging to reach a fair resolution for client injuries.

What Are The Most Common Injury Patterns In Slip And Fall Cases?

Slip and fall cases often result in three common types of injuries:

1. Knee Injuries: These occur when a person falls directly onto their knees, causing significant impact and damage to the joint.
2. “Split” Injuries: In some cases, the slip causes the individual to fall into a split position, leading to injuries in the hips, groin, or lower back.
3. Wrist And Arm Injuries: When someone instinctively tries to break their fall with their hand or arm, they often sustain wrist fractures or other upper limb injuries.

All of these injury patterns typically involve a whiplash effect on the cervical spine (neck) or lumbar spine (lower back), making a precise and careful diagnosis essential to understanding the full extent of the damage.
