Injuries cause by a slip and fall can be difficult on the body. They can also be tough on finances. If you experience a slip and fall so injurious that it puts you out of work, then you need to seek legal counsel as soon as possible.

Keep in mind what you must do to reinforce your case of reimbursement. Keep documentation on everything. The more precise you are in the details you provide of the incident, the more likely you will be to receive compensation for your injury.

Understanding the Slip and Fall Law

The slip and fall law encompasses individuals who have neglected the care of their property leading to the injury of someone else. Although the term slip is a part of the title, the law covers any form of injury due to the negligent party. This includes, but is not limited to, spilled liquids, cracked sidewalks, ice and snow, objects laying out, potholes, and so on.

Those who are responsible include the property owners and, in cases of a business-owned premises, the employees in charge of clearing the obstacles. If you find yourself receiving injuries on another's property, seek representation from a professional injury law firm.

What to Do Following a Slip and Fall

It is imperative that you search for legal counsel soon after your accident. The sooner you find proper representation, the greater your chances will be of getting your settlement. In addition to this, do the following:

• Seek medical attention for both internal and external injuries, even if you cannot see anything physically.
• Try to properly document the scene as soon as possible. Take photographs of the incident area and the dangerous conditions leading to the acquired injury.
• Collect information on those present and on the property owner (i.e. names and phone numbers).
• If it is a business, file an incident report then a police report. If it is a personal property, simply file a police report.
• Keep detailed records of expenses paid to hospitals and pharmacies, you may be able to be reimbursed for it later.
• Do not, under any circumstances, sign any documents without consulting with your legal advisor. If you are brought anything by the property owner or the insurance agency, discuss it with your attorney.

Avoid Hazards

In general, it is best to keep from injuring yourself whilst on another's property. Above all else, stay aware of the things going on around you in your surroundings. If it looks unsafe, chances are it is unsafe. Make a mental note of it, then later report it to the property owner. Do not, under any means, enter a zone that does not look safe for your passage.
