There are three basic steps you can take after a slip and fall accident to protect your rights:
Seek Medical Treatment
If you have sustained severe injuries, you may need to call for first responders. Even if your injuries don’t seem severe, you should still be evaluated by your doctor as soon as possible to check for underlying injuries and to have records connecting your accident to your injuries.
Document Everything
As much as you are able, you should document the surroundings that led to your accident — get photos, videos, and the contact information of any witnesses at the scene. Try to do this before the property owner attempts to address the hazard.
Hire a Premises Liability Lawyer
As soon as possible, you will want to contact Braker White to begin working on your claim. The sooner you do this, the more likely you are to file on time and include every bit of evidence necessary.
