What should I do right after a slip and fall accident?
If you are involved in a slip and fall accident, acting immediately and properly is critical to protecting your health and legal rights. First, get medical assistance promptly, even if the injuries appear minor. Some injuries, such as head trauma or internal damage, may not be immediately noticeable but can develop over time. Prompt medical documentation is also required to support a prospective legal claim.
Report the accident to the property owner, manager, or appropriate authority. Request that an incident report be filed, and get a copy of your records. Document the scene thoroughly by photographing or filming the area, risks, and any contributing variables such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate lighting. Collect contact information from everyone who witnessed the accident.
Avoid providing specific comments to insurance companies without legal assistance, as previous remarks may be misunderstood. Contact the Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys in Mt. Kisco, NY, as soon as possible.
Which forms of injuries are covered?
Slip and fall accidents can result in a variety of injuries, all of which may be covered by a personal injury claim if caused by another party's negligence. Fractures or fractured bones are common injuries, particularly in the wrists, hips, and ankles, which frequently occur when sufferers attempt to break their fall instinctively. Sprains, strains, and torn ligaments are common soft tissue injuries that can cause long-term discomfort or movement difficulties.
Slip and fall accidents can result in severe head injuries, such as concussions or traumatic brain injuries, which can cause long-term cognitive or physical problems. Back and spinal cord injuries can result in persistent discomfort, nerve damage, or even paralysis in severe situations. Cuts, bruises, and facial injuries are common, especially when falling on hard or uneven surfaces.
