Did you know slip and fall accidents account for over 1 million hospital visits every year? It’s true, and winter in particular presents increased risk for such incidents.
We genuinely hope you never have to deal with any injury, but we want you to be armed with the key steps to take in the unfortunate event you or a loved one slips and falls:
🏥 Seek medical attention immediately. Your health and well-being are the top priority, no matter how minor your injuries may seem. Don't forget to save all medical records, as they'll be crucial evidence if a case is needed.
📸 It's easy to forget details after an accident, so try to document the scene if possible. Take photos or videos of where the incident happened and any hazardous conditions that contributed to your fall.
✍️ When you're calm and able, jot down all the details of the fall. Include the time, date, weather conditions, and anything you remember about the hazardous conditions that caused your fall.
📝 Report the incident to the property owner and make sure they create an official incident report. Keep a copy of this report for your records.
🤝 If you ever find yourself in such a situation, remember that we are here to help. After a slip and fall, we can assess whether legal action is necessary and take care of all the documentation for you.
If you or a loved one experiences an accident or injury, please feel free to reach out. That’s what we are here for ❤️
