What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?<\/span><\/p>\n

Trigeminal neuralgia\u00a0is not an illness that most people are familiar with, and this is due to the fact that it\u2019s a relatively rare condition. Basically, this is a chronic pain disorder that is associated with damage to the trigeminal nerve. The condition is normally categorized as either typical trigeminal neuralgia\u00a0or\u00a0atypical trigeminal neuralgia.<\/p>\n

Those with typical trigeminal neuralgia have chronic pain that comes and goes on one side of their face, which is similar to an electric shock. The sensation is quite painful and unnerving, and it can last for a few seconds, or as long as a few minutes. On the other hand, you will experience constant pain if you have atypical trigeminal neuralgia. The pain is not as bad as regular trigeminal neuralgia, but nevertheless patients have to deal with a constant burning or stabbing sensation in the affected area.<\/p>\n

Chronic pain disorders have a significant impact on your physical and mental well-being. Those who have trigeminal neuralgia are always on the lookout for a flare up, which disrupts their ability to do basic tasks and engage with their loved ones. In essence, the life you had prior to a slip and fall accident has been taken away from you.<\/p>\n

Can a Slip and Fall Accident Cause Neuralgia? <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, trigeminal neuralgia can occur as a direct result of a slip and fall accident. As we said before, this is a rare medical condition, so it is not one of the more common injuries that can happen from a fall<\/a> accident.<\/p>\n

When you slip or trip on something and fall down, you can end up hitting your head on the ground or another hard surface. This type of trauma can lead to nerve damage, which is why slip and fall injury victims can later be diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. If you are dealing with the pain and debilitating symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia after a slip and fall, please explore the available legal options with one of our attorneys.<\/p>\n

Can I Sue for a Slip and Fall that Resulted in Trigeminal Neuralgia?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, you may have grounds to file a slip and fall lawsuit if your accident resulted in trigeminal neuralgia or any other injury. To be eligible for a compensation claim, you must show that the party you are suing breached their duty of care.<\/p>\n

For example, store owners have a duty of care to keep the store clean, organized and sanitary in order to prevent harm to their guests. So, let\u2019s say that you are picking up supplies at your local Walmart when you fall down in front a of display because someone spilled water on the floor. As the store failed to take care of the spill (wiping it up, placing Wet Floor signs, etc.), you have the right to file an accident report and seek payment for your medical<\/a> bills and other expenses.<\/p>\n

This is one of many examples where someone can be sued under the concept of premises liability. Keep in mind that this is relatively straightforward example, and other cases are not so black and white. That\u2019s why you should consult a slip and fall lawyer immediately if you suspect that your accident could have been prevented with reasonable care and maintenance.<\/p>\nWhat if the Accident Happened at Work? Can I Still Sue?<\/span>\n

More specifically, you could have the right to file a workers compensation claim. After your accident, you will need to notify your employer to request the appropriate forms and file a workers comp claim. If the claim is approved, you will start receiving benefits, which may include partial pay, disability may, and more. However, if your workers compensation claim is wrongfully denied, you could pursue a civil lawsuit against your employer to ensure that you receive<\/a> a fair payout. <\/span><\/p>\n

If the incident was caused by gross negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to fight for your right to receive<\/a> compensation, which may include all medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, punitive damages, and legal fees.<\/span><\/p>\n
