Simple Guidance for Slip-and-Fall Victims

If you’ve sustained an injury or trauma after a fall, you’re definitely not alone. In fact, experts estimate that more than 300,000 serious injuries and millions of moderate injuries each year are the result of slip/trip and fall accidents.

Common causes of slip/trip and fall injuries include uneven pathways, unsafe or improper design, potholes, poorly lit or unmarked sidewalks or stairs, spills, leaks, puddles, grease, slippery surfaces (such as wet or overly waxed or improperly waxed floors), uneven or torn carpeting, improper or negligent maintenance, and objects or obstructions on the floor.

What Should You Do If You Slip/Trip and Fall?

After you’ve been involved in a slip/trip and fall incident, your initial impulse may be to feel ashamed or embarrassed. However, recent research found that more than 70% of slip/trip and fall injuries were caused by external circumstances, rather than being the fault of the injured individual.After you’ve been involved in a slip/trip and fall incident, your initial impulse may be to feel ashamed or embarrassed. However, recent research found that more than 70% of slip/trip and fall injuries were caused by external circumstances, rather than being the fault of the injured individual.

No matter how careful you are, you could walk into a situation in which unsafe conditions make a slip/trip and fall injury unavoidable. If the worst happens and you’re injured in a slip/trip and fall incident, follow these guidelines to protect your health and legal rights:

  • Ask for help. You should stay where you are and ask for immediate assistance. If you’re sure you can stand up safely, do so very slowly, but don’t leave the scene without making an official report.
  • Get medical assistance. Seek medical attention immediately. A full examination conducted in the hours after your fall will help doctors assess the damage.
  • Document the situation. Although your very first priority should be seeking medical care, it’s also important to try to preserve evidence at the scene of your fall. Take photos of the scene and the condition that caused you to fall, and ask any available witnesses if they would be willing to provide their account of what happened.
  • Make an official report. If you’re in a public place, ask a manager to fill out an accident report. Most companies keep forms on hand in case anyone is injured on the premises. Completing this report will help you document your side of the story and initiate an official paper trail that may be helpful later on. Ask for a copy of the report immediately to avoid any alterations or tampering with the document.
  • Protect your legal rights. If you’ve been hurt in a slip/trip and fall incident, you deserve to know what your rights are. An experienced personal injury attorney can determine whether you have a valid premises liability claim and help you understand the legal nuts and bolts of your case.
