What To Do After A Slip-And-Fall Accident In Florida

Especially in the commotion that surrounds a slip-and-fall accident, it can be hard for a victim to remember every single detail of what happened. Still, there are some important steps you can take to help protect your rights:

• Take photos of the accident scene, including whatever circumstances led to your fall. Also take photo of your injuries, both immediately and over time.
• Gather information, including obtaining the names and contact information for any people who witnessed your fall.
• Report the accident to the owner or the manager of the property as soon as possible.
• Seek medical attention immediately and keep all of your follow-up doctor’s appointments.
• Document what happened while everything is fresh in your mind. Consider keeping a journal after the accident to document how you are feeling and how the injury has affected your life.
• Preserve the scene. Do not clean or wash any shoes or clothing that may contain evidence related to your fall such as residue from a substance that you slipped on.
• Contact a skilled Florida premises liability attorney right away. You deserve a lawyer who has in-depth experience in these types of cases, one who knows how to track down all the evidence and build a solid claim for maximum compensation.
