No one ever wants to slip and fall. These accidents can cause personal injuries to innocent people. These injuries can range from stains and sprains, broken bones, to even wrongful death. Here are things to do after a slip and fall.

If you can, take pictures of where you fell. Whether you slipped on a liquid on the floor of a store, or snow and ice in a parking lot, photos can greatly help a claim if a property owner was negligent.

Try to make sure an incident report is created. If your fall occurred at a supermarket, make sure you report to the store exactly what happened. You want them to create an incident report so that the facts of the fall are accurately reported.

Next, if you did sustain injuries, make sure you receive prompt medical attention. Slips & falls can cause injuries such as meniscus tears, broken wrists, and other very serious injuries. It is important to have the injuries checked out by medical professionals.
