What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident

After a slip and fall accident, you may not know what to do to safeguard your health and legal rights. In the aftermath of a slip and fall accident, you should consider:

Seeking Medical Attention

Your first priority should be to seek medical attention for your injuries. Since injuries from a slip and fall accident can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening, get checked out and treated by a healthcare provider.

Additionally, your healthcare provider can create an official record of your injuries and the treatment you need, which begins a trail of evidence that can be used by your lawyer.

Reporting the Incident

Be sure to report the incident to someone in authority at the accident site. This could be a manager, business owner, property owner, or superintendent. Have them create some sort of official documentation to record the incident.

Collecting Evidence

Any evidence that you manage to collect can be helpful if you choose to file a claim or lawsuit.

The following forms of evidence could build your case:

  • Take pictures of the conditions at the accident site, your injuries, and the surrounding environmental conditions. Anything that speaks to how your accident happened should be recorded.
  • Witness statements. Witnesses do not have to have seen the accident. They can also be witnesses that speak to the extent of your injuries and pain, the foreseeability of the dangerous conditions on the property, and what happened before and after the accident to show that the property owner was negligent.
  • Contact information. Get the contact information of anyone involved in the progression of your case. This could be the contact information of the store’s manager or your primary care doctor.

A lawyer from our team can list other pieces of information that could bolster your personal injury claim.

Common Types of Slip and Fall-Related Injuries

Injuries that you can sustain from a slip and fall accident are varied. Some injuries can heal by themselves in a matter of weeks. Other impairments, however, can be long-lasting and result in extensive medical bills.

Right now, you or a loved one may be suffering from one or more of the following injuries:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

A TBI can occur when your head strikes against a hard surface, possibly resulting in concussions, coma, brain bleeds, and even death in extreme cases. According to the Mayo Clinic, the symptoms of a TBI can include confusion, slurred speech, loss of consciousness, vomiting, nausea, and dilation of the pupils.

Broken Hip

This type of injury can be potentially deadly for seniors and is common in slip and fall accidents. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 300,000 seniors are hospitalized each year due to hip fractures, and 95% of these fractures are caused by falls. Given these statistics, it is clear that broken hips should be taken seriously as a consequence of slip and fall accidents.

Injured Extremities

When we try to catch ourselves in the midst of a fall, we can end up with abrasions, lacerations, and fractures in our extremities. Injured extremities can lead to painful scarring and permanent disfigurement.

Back and Neck Injuries

After a slip and fall accident, you may experience back and neck pain. Trauma to the spinal cord and nervous system from a hard fall can lead to a temporary or permanent loss of sensation in certain parts of the body.

In addition to these serious injuries, there are many other complications that may arise after a slip and fall accident. A Paradise slip and fall injury lawyer from High Stakes Injury Law can help you understand your financial recovery options. To connect with a member of our team, dial (702) 444-3228.
