Orlando Slip & Fall
Attorney
Personal injuries, including slip and fall claims, rest on the idea that a person or company needs to keep an area safe for those who visit
For instance, wet floors must be marked with a “Wet Floor” sign, and dangerous areas should be roped off. Older buildings or structures can be more dangerous and cause serious personal injuries for unsuspecting victims
A property owner can be held responsible for a slip-and-fall victim’s injuries on their premises if they:
- Create a dangerous condition.
- Fail to remedy a dangerous condition.
- Fail to warn others of a dangerous condition.
8 Steps You Should Take After A Slip-And-Fall Accident
In order to properly preserve your potential premises liability claim you should do the following:
- Report the accident to the owner. Demand that an incident report be filled out.
- Gather contact information of potential witnesses, including names, addresses and telephone numbers.
- Take pictures of the premises and your injuries.
- If you have any injuries at all, make sure you get medical treatment.
- Save any clothing you wore that day, especially your shoes. Do not continue to wear them.
- Keep your empty prescription bottles.
- Keep a copy of all the medical reports and bills you receive.
- Consider contacting a slip-and-fall attorney for a thorough review of your case.
The guidance of a slip-and-fall attorney dramatically improves your chances of recovering benefits in a slip-and-fall claim.
