→ Slip-and-fall evidence
Slip-and-fall accidents can happen in seconds. A wet floor, spilled liquid, uneven surface, or missing warning sign can cause a serious injury. But once the area is cleaned or repaired, important evidence may disappear.
If you experience a slip-and-fall, here's what to do
**if it's safe to do so:**
📸 **Take photos** of the hazard that caused your fall, including spills, debris, damaged flooring, or uneven surfaces.
⚠️ **Capture the surrounding area,** including warning signs or the absence of them.
👀 **Look for witnesses** and ask for their contact information.
📝 **Report the incident** to the property owner, manager, or appropriate staff, and ask that it be documented.
🏥 **Get medical attention** for your injuries, even if they don't seem serious at first.
📂 **Keep your records,** including incident reports, medical paperwork, and any communication about what happened.
Remember, a spill can be cleaned, a hazard can be repaired, and the scene can change quickly. Photographs may help preserve details that could otherwise be lost.
You can't always control what happens after a fall but you can help preserve the evidence.
At Seay/Felton Trial Lawyers, we believe the details matter when it comes to protecting your rights.
