A slip and fall accident can happen almost anywhere. Something as simple as shopping at the mall can lead to tripping over a misplaced rack or just walking up to a building can lead to falling over broken concrete. The most mundane routine activity can lead to a devastating injury due to a slip and fall accident. The financial devastation, loss of work and emotional upset can leave you in ruin. So how do you deal with a slip and fall properly so that you can protect yourself? Here are a few tips on what you should do if you are involved in a slip and fall:
Take Note of Witnesses: If you are in public, witnesses should be plentiful, get as much contact information from them as you can for future reference. Ask them to wait to make statement for the accident report as well.
Take Pictures of the Scene: Get images of the whole scene, including signs and full circumstances.
Alert Security and/or the Police: If you have your cell phone on you and you are injured, call the police to the scene. If you don't have a phone, have someone else on the scene call for you. Also, have someone get any local security for your location if they are available.
Go to the Doctor: If you were injured, see a doctor right away. If you are immobilized or severely injured, call an ambulance to the scene for transport. Even if your injury “doesn’t seem that bad”, you need to visit the doctor because many injuries get worse over time. You want to be sure you can link your injury to any future loss of work, pain or disability that may result from the slip and fall.
Consult an Attorney: If you try to attempt to settle or negotiate with the owner of the establishment on your own, chances are they will try to only cover minimal hospital bills and have you release them from any further liability. An experienced slip and fall attorney is critical to protecting your rights and ensuring you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.
