What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident
1. Get immediate medical attention. Even minor injuries can become serious. Prompt care establishes vital medical documentation for your personal injury claim.
2. Report the incident. Notify the property owner or manager. Ask them to create a written record of the incident and request a copy.
3. Take photos. Capture the exact location of your fall and any visible hazards—spills, uneven surfaces, missing handrails, debris, etc.
4. Collect witness information. Gather the names and contact details of anyone who saw the fall or the presence of hazards.
5. Contact a personal injury attorney. A skilled OakTree slip and fall attorney will evaluate your case, handle insurance communications, and protect your rights.
Slip and Fall Injuries
Personal injuries from slip and fall accidents can range from minor abrasions and cuts to serious conditions like broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and lifelong disabilities.
Common Hazards
Slip and fall injuries occur due to spills, uneven flooring, potholes, debris, poor lighting, missing handrails, and more.
Duty of Care
Property owners and occupiers must fulfill a duty of care, ensuring there are no reasonably foreseen dangers on their property. Failure to provide a safe environment constitutes negligence.
Medical Expense Compensation
If a property owner/occupier is negligent, you may be entitled to compensation for all reasonable and necessary medical costs you incur. Top-rated slip and fall attorneys fight to help get your expenses covered.
Additional Economic Damages
You may also be entitled to compensation for lost wages, home and transportation modifications, childcare services, and other reasonably incurred costs.
Non-Economic Damages
Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and diminished quality of life may all be considered in determining your compensation. An experienced slip and fall attorney will fight for maximum non-economic damages.
