- Immediately determine what caused you to fall and report the accident to management and /or security. If you do not know what caused you to fall, chances are you will not be able to pursue a claim.
- Ask for a copy of the accident report (if they refuse, make note of who took the report). Do not sign an accident report unless they agree to provide you a copy.
- You will need to document your injuries so ask management to call EMS.
- Once you have left the premises, do not speak to anyone before you consult an attorney and do not allow your conversation to be tape recorded.
- Keep your shoes and clothing as evidence.
- Offer the establishment, or anyone who calls you later on, the name and telephone number of your attorney.
- Contact our office as soon as possible. The call is free and there are no out-of-pocket expenses if you choose to have us represent you.
