Slips and falls can cost a lot of money for parents visiting Canada
Last updated : 02/06/2022
The fact cannot be denied that slips and falls are responsible for a whopping 95% of hip fractures, often requiring invasive surgery. It can happen anywhere such as slipping on the step in the stairwell at the mall or falling on the knees. So, if your parents or grandparents visit you in Canada, any sudden illness or accident or slip and fall can cause thousands of dollars in expenses. It’s not just the suffering, pain, and limited mobility that can change your life in an instant; medical bills can also change life drastically. Often the true cost of an injury is unknown, sometimes it can take years and can be very expensive to afford proper therapy, and sometimes your body never gets a chance to rehabilitate, mend, or gets better.
Beyond a doubt, the medical treatment for slips and falls is costly in Canadian or any hospital in the world. Moreover, Canadian hospital administrators demand some guarantee of payment when dealing with foreign patients especially. Such accidents do not cause only pain, but the recovery time and their bills can cause emotional anguish also. For those who have been injured in a slip and fall accident, it is over one million each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average hospital cost of a slip and fall is more than $30,000 to $40,000.
Therefore, it is crucial to have medical coverage for the parents and grandparents while visiting Canada.
