Medical Costs for Slip and Fall Injuries Continue to Grow
In 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report stating that fall-related death rates for men and women 65 years and older increased significantly from 1993 to 2003. More than 13,700 older adults died from falls in 2003, making falls the leading cause of injurious death among people 65 and older. More men died from falls (46.2%) than women (31.1%) that year.
The medical costs for falls among older adults were approximately $19 billion in 2000 and will only continue to grow as the population ages. Such slip and fall cases involve injuries as a result of falling during the daylight hours on sidewalks, wheelchair ramps, and steps.
