    Slipped and Fell at a Private Business? Here’s What You Should Do

    According to statistics, there are more than 2,000 slip and fall accidents in the US every day. In one year, over a million people go to the emergency room because of these incidents.

    In Las Vegas, slips and falls are still a major cause of serious injuries, often caused by wet floors, poor lighting, and uneven surfaces. 

    One of the steps to take after such an accident is consulting a slip and fall lawyer in Las Vegas. They will guide you through your legal options and possible steps in getting compensation. 

    The following sections talk about what one must do after a slip and fall accident.

    Prioritize Medical Attention

    Your health should always come first. Even if the injuries seem minor, ensure you get immediate medical attention. Some injuries, like concussions and internal bleeding, take time to appear. 

    By visiting a doctor, your injuries are treated immediately and documented. These records will come in handy when pursuing a legal claim. 

    Report the Incident

    Inform the business owner, manager, or staff about your fall as soon as possible. Most businesses have a procedure for documenting such incidents, often in the form of an accident report. Be sure to give accurate details without admitting fault.

    Request for a copy of the report. If you can’t get one, take a photo or note down what was indicated. Reporting the accident helps to establish a timeline and creates an official record of the accident. 

    Document the Scene

    Evidence is very important in slip and fall accidents. If you can, take photos or videos of where you fell. Capture any hazards like spills, damaged floors, or the lack of a proper warning sign.

    Make sure the images show the conditions the way they were at the time of the accident. Witness testimonies can also help to support your version of what happened.

    Also, note down the time, date, and other details you remember about the fall. These notes are useful when narrating the account later.

    Avoid Accepting Quick Settlements and Making Assumptions

    It is natural to feel embarrassed after a slip and fall, but don’t apologize or admit fault at the scene. A simple statement like “I’m sorry” or “That was very clumsy of me” could be used against you later.

    On the same note, be cautious about taking quick settlement offers from businesses or their insurance companies. These offers are aimed at resolving the issue as quickly as possible for less than what you may be entitled to. 

    Consult an Attorney

    Slip and fall cases can be more complicated than they may seem on the surface, especially when it comes to determining liability. A slip and fall attorney can help in assessing your case, collecting enough evidence, and negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf.

    They will ensure you receive a fair settlement for medical expenses, lost wages, and even pain and suffering. Consulting an attorney in the early stages can help strengthen your claim.

    Conclusion

    A slip and fall accident at a private business can be physically and emotionally challenging. Instead of leaving your health and financial well-being to chance, take proactive steps to protect your interests.
