    I Slipped & Fell – What Should be the Next Steps I Take?

    1. Get medical treatment immediately. A slip and fall may not seem serious but it can cause significant injuries. It is always better to be safe than sorry.
    2. Make sure you report your accident to the owner or manager on duty. Make sure there is some report in writing, and make sure you get witness information.
    3. Take pictures of the scene where it happened.
    4. Write down what happened in your own words right away while the event is fresh in your mind.
    5. The insurance company will try to get you to give a recorded statement. Don’t. They are not trying to help you, only use what you say against you.
    6. Don’t talk to anyone about your case other than your doctors.
    7. Call a Slip and Fall lawyer immediately. They will help you gather all the evidence, get your medical documents and bills.
