    What Should You Do When You Slip and Fall – Things You Need To Know

    The words “slip and fall” and “trip and fall” sound-alike; there seems to be a variation. Property insurance cases cover both kinds of accidents. Therefore, how an accident happens and the damage that results from different fall accidents might be quiet.

    What are the causes of “slip and fall” and “trip and fall” accidents? 

    The fall position is the significant difference between such a slip and fall and a trip and fall incident. Once you “slide” and fall, you typically hit on your back. Your feet start to slide out from behind you, forcing your body backward.

    Slick floors are the most significant reason for slip and fall incidents. You fall backward after your foot slides on the slippery surface.

    Spills and leaks may create surfaces sticky. Slippery floors can also be caused by waxing. People entering a store while it is raining may create slippery floors if raindrops from jackets, shoes, or umbrellas onto the floor.

    Whenever you “trip” and fall, the foot makes contact with something and causes you to break your balance. The body is pushed forward as a result.

    Accidents involving trips and falls can happen for a variety of reasons. Here are several examples:

    • Damaged Floors 
    • Steps that have been broken
    • Clutter pathways
    • Uneven Surfaces
    • Pockmarks on the pavement or the ground
    • Uneven Door Jams
    • Lifts that do not come to a complete stop when they reach the floor
    • The floor is covered with cords and wires.
    • Tripping risks can be caused by any material left on the floor.

    What should you do in case of a slip and fall? 

    If you fall on someone else’s property, you should take the following procedures to defend your legal rights:

    • Inform the property owner about your damage

    Inform the owner of the property or management about the fall and injuries. Just request a copy of a report of the incident in the paper. Ask those people to write down their identity, position, and phone number if they do not produce an output.

    • Recover Evidence

    Take pics of the scene of an accident when you can do that without harming yourself. It’s also a good way to create a video. Inquire passers-by for their contact details.

    Keep a record of the specific date and time of the accident. Keep in mind that your shoes and clothing may be used as proof in your personal injury claim.

    • Get Medical Treatment Immediately

    If you can not go to the hospital following the accident, you should see your doctor as soon as possible. A personal injury requires evidence of urgent medical care. To claim compensatory damages, you should have medical history to verify that you were hurt due to the fall.

    Avoid contacting the insurance company or the property owner

    Do not decide to give a written or video statement about the accident till you can speak with a slip and fall lawyer.

    Do not respond to questions regarding your injury or accident. Even though the other party doesn’t really inform you, you should always believe that your discussion is being recorded.
