Make your health and well-being your number one priority. In other words, seek immediate medical treatment even if you feel okay. Some injuries don’t show symptoms for hours or days after a slip and fall incident.
Also, make sure you report the accident to the property owner or occupant as soon as possible, and document everything you can. If you are physically able, use your cell phone to take photos of the hazard that led to your slip and fall accident, and get the names and contact information for any witnesses to your fall. When notifying the owner/occupant of your fall, stick to the facts only. Do not demand or accept compensation, and do not say anything that suggests you share some of the blame.
Then, contact our experienced Philadelphia slip and fall attorneys as soon as possible for a free consultation to learn about your rights to compensation.
