Pictures
In a slip and fall case, pictures speak louder than words. If you’re able, have someone you know, or your slip and fall attorney, take pictures, or take pictures yourself, of the surrounding area, including where you fell, as well as your injuries before and after medical attention.
Eyewitness Accounts
If anyone sees you fall, take the time to hear their side of the story. Write it down or, better yet, ask to record their testimony on video or a voice recorder.
Medical Documentation
After you’ve left the scene, any slip and fall attorney will tell you to make plans to get medical care as soon as possible. Even if you don’t need in-depth treatment to heal your injuries, a doctor’s assessment carries weight in a slip and fall case and with insurance companies.
Property Records
There may be other types of evidence you can get with the help of a slip and fall lawyer.
Measurements
This is an odd one, but measuring the distance between steps, the height of a handrail, or the depth of a hole can give some credibility to your Alabama slip and fall claim.
