If you suffer a trip and fall injury on somebody else’s property, you should take the following steps (in the order that makes the most sense based on the severity of your injuries): *Gather evidence. Take pictures and videos of the area around your accident, especially if you see evidence of hazardous conditions. Get contact information from potential witnesses. *Report the accident to the manager, owner, or landlord and get a copy of the written accident report. *Get medical attention. You must have proof that you were injured, so you should go see a doctor immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Besides, your injuries may be worse than you realize. *Don’t give statements to the property owner or their insurance company. They will find ways to use your words against you. *Contact an experienced New York trip and fall lawyer at Goidel & Siegel and get a free consultation to discuss your case.
