What Are Some Immediate Steps I Should Take If I’ve Been Hurt in a Slip and Fall Accident?
It is difficult to believe that your life could change in a matter of a few seconds from a slip and fall accident; however, that is exactly what happens to the clients we meet. Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning, send the kids off to school, leave to run a few errands and then pick up the kids from school. As you are walking through the store to pick up a few groceries before you return home, you slip on some liquid that was spilled on the floor injuring your neck and back. The next few hours go by in a blur as medical help arrives to transport you to the hospital. Doctors make x-rays and perform other diagnostic tests. The good news is that you will not require surgery; however, you will require intensive physical therapy in order to recover from your injuries.
Now you must pay someone to help with the housework and your children as well as worry about how you will pay the medical bills while being out of work for an extended period. You never imagined that your entire life would be turned upside down when you left the house that morning. This is what a slip and fall accident can do to you and your family. The good news is that our personal injury attorneys can help you recover a monetary award for your damages from the parties who were negligent in causing your slip and fall accident.
Steps to Take Following a Slip and Fall Accident
The first step is to seek immediate medical attention for your injuries. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may not be able to take photographs of the accident scene, gather witness contact information and speak with an attorney; however, if you can ask a friend or family member to do these things for you it will be very helpful in building your slip and fall accident case. Contact our office as soon as possible following the accident so that we can begin to investigate the circumstances of your accident, identify parties responsible for your injuries and begin building a strong case for damages.
