Learn two common mistakes to be aware of below.
1. Failing to Document the Scene
Proper accident scene documentation is also vital for building a strong case. Unfortunately, many overlook this step, especially if they're shaken up by the fall.
If possible, take photographs of the area where you fell. Be sure to note any hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate lighting. Collect witness statements and secure an incident report from the property owner or manager as well.
This evidence can prove that the property owner was negligent and liable for your injuries.
2. Not Consulting with an Attorney Early
Another common mistake is attempting to handle a slip-and-fall claim without legal assistance.
Legal processes are often complex. Without an experienced personal injury attorney's expertise, you may miss critical deadlines, accept a low settlement offer, or make statements that could harm your case.
Consulting with an attorney early on protects your rights and ensures you handle your claim correctly.
