3 Things To Do If You Are the Victim of a Slip & Fall | Slip & Fall Attorney College Park

Even minor slips or falls can sometimes lead to major injuries and traumas.  If your slip and fall accident is caused by another’s negligence or intentional action, you have to protect yourself physically and financially. Can you afford to miss days or weeks of work? Can you handle a large medical bill? These are just a couple of the things you have to ask yourself if you are injured. Here are 3 things we recommend you do if you have a slip and fall accident:

1. Get medical attention. Sometimes injuries are not obvious or immediate. It is critical to be thoroughly examined by qualified physician right away. 

2. Contact an experienced slip & fall attorney.  If the accident was not your fault, then all your medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of work, etc. need to be covered by the responsible party.

3. Write down the details of what happened as soon as possible. Memories are always reliable. If possible, take notes (and photos) of the scene, get names and numbers of witnesses and detail exactly what happened.

What To Do If You Have A “Slip & Fall” Accident | Slip & Fall Attorney College Park & Atlanta

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.
