FAQ
What Should You Do After a Slip And Fall?
-
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
You should always get a medical examination after an injury, regardless of the severity. Taking an ambulance from the scene of the injury establishes the severity of the injury and confirms that you were present on the property. Serious injuries may not become evident for days or weeks after your fall, but you will want to document the extent of your challenges. To the insurance companies, medical records provide an impartial account of your damages. Memorializing your complaints is important because memories fade.
-
TAKE PICTURES
This might be the furthest thing from your mind after a slip and fall, but photographs can be invaluable in establishing fault. What caused you to fall? What is the lighting like? Where were other people located at the time you fell? Take pictures of any and all items that caused or created the slip and fall so that you are in a position to clearly illustrate the property owner’s negligence.
-
LOOK FOR SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS
There are surveillance cameras in all sorts of places these days. If a camera was in the area, we want to be able to get a copy of the footage before it is erased. The footage may be able to show how long the defect was present before your injury. It can also show what people were in the area and could have resolved the defect before you came upon it. The video can substantiate what happened and it can be used to prove the property owner’s negligence.
-
GATHER WITNESS INFORMATION
Witnesses can help determine how the accident occurred. If possible, speak to anyone who saw what happened and exchange phone numbers and email addresses. Often witnesses are needed to establish the length of time a defective condition existed, as well as to set the scene as to whose responsibility it is to keep it clean. We may need to contact them later on to provide a statement as evidence in support of your case.
If store staff, security, or police respond to the scene of the slip and all, take down their full name and identification number.
-
CONTACT A MASSACHUSETTS SLIP AND FALL ATTORNEY
Don’t talk to them, talk to us. After your slip and fall, you can contact your property owner and try to find out what insurance company it has yourself, or you can contact us to do it for you.
Remember that insurance companies are not on your side. They will try to deny payment or try to pay the least amount possible for your accident and injuries. Conversations are often recorded, so whatever you say can and will be used against you.

PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS
Claiming Compensation For Slip-And Fall Accidents
If you injure yourself on someone else’s property, you should contact a personal injury attorney right away. They can determine whether you are entitled to compensation for your injuries and get your claim filed before time runs out.

Even a short visit to the emergency room could generate thousands of dollars in hospital bills. Diagnostic tests, operations, and prescription medicines will add to the total. And since recovery could take some time, the expenses could continue to multiply for years after the initial fall accident.
By filing a slip and fall lawsuit, a personal injury lawyer could pursue compensation for serious injuries:
HEAD
INJURIES
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) could affect your ability to walk, talk, and perform daily activities. Those with severe TBIs could require constant professional care.
FACIAL SCARS AND FRACTURES
If you hurt your face in your slip-and-fall accident, you might discover how difficult it is to live with a facial deformity. Scarring and self-consciousness could negatively impact your social life.
NECK AND BACK INJURIES

ARM, KNEE, AND
LEG INJURIES

Lost wages
If you work to support your family, recovering lost income should be
an essential part of your slip and fall case. Your attorney can calculate how much you are due in lost wages, including any vacation days you used while you were recuperating.
Pain and suffering
After a slip-and-fall accident, physical pain could cause discomfort
that takes away from the enjoyment of daily activities. Psychological trauma can contribute to anxiety, sleeplessness, and depression. Since these factors are subjective, an insurance company might try to minimize the devastating effects on your life..
Other damages
