Compensation for Your Slip and Fall Accident
After a slip and fall accident, your lawyer may recommend filing a lawsuit for premises liability against the owner of the property where you were injured. In order to win, you will need to show that the owner owed a duty to you as a visitor to the property and that the owner breached that duty by failing to adequately maintain the property. To prepare your case, you will need to gather evidence in the form of records, including whether – and how often – a site has been inspected, cleaned, or repaired. We will also collect records regarding whether similar incidents have occurred on the premises. This will allow us to prove to an insurance adjuster – or, if necessary, a judge or jury – that the premises were in an unreasonably dangerous condition at the time of your accident due to some known hazard, deferred maintenance, or other issues. Through the insurance claims process, our lawyers will pursue compensation for your:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Disfigurement
- Disability
- Reduced or lost earning capacity
- Reduced quality of life
What to Do After a Slip and Fall
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall, it’s best to act quickly before critical evidence vanishes or is removed from the scene. At a minimum, we recommend that you do the following:
- Inform the property owner or premises manager of your fall.
- If applicable, fill out an incident report.
- Contact the police department to secure an accident report.
- Take photos and videos of the area where the fall occurred.
- Record the names and contact information of the property owner, tenant, or manager on-site at the time of the accident.
- Gather eyewitness contact information.
- Seek medical assistance.
- Collect and preserve the shoes that the victim was wearing at the time of the fall.
In addition to gathering this information on your own, however, be sure to contact an experienced personal injury attorney to help you preserve your claim.
