Slip & Fall:

    Slip and FallA "slip & fall" is an injury which occurs when someone slips, trips or falls as a result of a dangerous or hazardous condition on someone else's property. Often, cases are brought against supermarkets, towns and cities, convenience stores, schools, department stores, office buildings, restaurants and shopping centers. If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, a lawyer can help you get compensation for your injuries from those responsible for the dangerous conditions.

    If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, you should:

    • Immediately report your accident to the property owner or property security company. Be sure to get a copy of the accident report.
    • Try to get the name and phone number of any people who may have witnessed your fall.
    • Have someone take pictures of the accident scene, your clothing and shoes, and any warnings signs that might be in the area surrounding the accident scene.
    • If you have suffered any visible damage to your body (i.e., cuts, scrapes and bruises) have someone take photographs or permit our investigator to take them.
    • If possible, place in a plastic bag the item that caused you to fall.
    • Go to the hospital emergency room immediately if you are in any pain whatsoever. Do not be afraid to tell the doctor about every area of your body in which you are experiencing pain.
    • Find out about any other similar accidents in the same area.

    A lawyer can help you with any of these steps, as well as dealing with your insurance company, and the insurer of those responsible for your injury.
