The moments after a slip and fall matter more than you might think. Here's what to do:
- Seek medical attention immediately — even if you feel "fine"
- Report the incident to the property owner or manager and get it in writing
- Document everything — photograph the hazard, your injuries, and the surrounding area
- Get witness contact information if anyone saw what happened
- Don't give a recorded statement to insurance companies without an attorney
Acting quickly protects your health and your case.
