mall, in a restaurant, the grocery
store, or at work—you trip on some obstacle or slip ona wet or
over-polished surface and go down in a flash.

death in the United States. TheNational Safety Council (NSC)

WHAT TO DO AFTER A FALL
When you’ve fallen on someone else’s property as a result of
theirnegligence, there are steps you can take to protect your
interestsand document the situation, in order to provide the needed
proof
for your claim:
Take photos showing what caused you to fall.Get contact
information for any witnesses.Report the injury to the owner or
operator of the property in writing.Get prompt medical attention.
(Have someone call an ambulance if necessary).Avoid giving a
recorded statement to a company representative or
insuranceadjuster.Don’t sign any authorizations or releases until
you have consulted an attorney.Consult a premises accident attorney
as soon after the accident as possible.
-
Insurance companies fight fall injuryclaims routinely. A typical
tactic is toattempt to place the blame for the fallon the injured
person. Insurers areprimarily concerned with profits, so it isin
their interest to pay as little aspossible in damage claims. They
havesophisticated legal teams working forthem, so you’ll need a
good lawyer onyour side to prove the premises owner’sliability
along with your damages.
