After a slip and fall accident, you should:
- Seek immediate medical attention even if injuries seem minor, as some conditions may worsen over time
- Report the incident to the property owner, manager, or security and ensure an incident report is filed
- Document everything by taking photos of the hazard, the accident scene, your injuries, and any relevant conditions like poor lighting
- Gather witness information from anyone who saw the accident occur
- Preserve evidence including the clothing and shoes you wore during the incident
- Keep detailed records of all medical treatment, expenses, and how the injury affects your daily activities
- Avoid giving statements to insurance companies without legal representation, and
- Contact an experienced slip and fall attorney promptly to protect your rights and preserve crucial evidence.
