WHAT TO DO AFTER A SLIP & FALL ACCIDENT

Following a slip and fall, it is essential you follow these steps in order to ensure you are not assigned blame for your injury: Immediately seek medical attention, so that your injuries are recorded by a medical professional who will assess the severity of the situation Inspect the surrounding area for anything which may have caused the fall, such as a wet floor, uneven concrete, etc. Gather all witnesses, as they will be vital in your case Notify the property owner this happened on their premises Take photographic evidence as soon as possible, so you can further offer evidence as to the unsafe or negligent conditions which caused your accident
