Sometimes what is meant to be a quick trip to the grocery store can result in a serious injury. Wet floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, and merchandise left in walking paths are all hazards that are usually preventable, and a fall caused by one of them can potentially affect your health for months.
Not every fall creates a legal claim, but if you're hurt in a store or another business, a few steps can help protect both your recovery and your options. Get medical attention, photograph the condition that caused the fall if you're able, note anyone who saw it happen, keep your receipts, and report the incident to a manager before you leave.
Cossé Law Firm represents injured people across the New Orleans area, and a case evaluation is free. If a fall has affected your health, your work, or your daily life, reach out today at cosselaw.com/contact.
