Winter is upon us in New England. That means black ice will cause many people to slip and fall. These accidents can cause very serious personal injuries such as broken bones, which may or may not require surgery to repair. If you experience one of these accidents, it is important to know what to do after you slip and fall on black ice.

First, be sure to report the accident as quickly as possible. If the fall happens outside a store, or on a rental property, or in a parking lot, make sure to report exactly what happened to the property owner. And make sure they create an incident report.

Next, if possible, take photographs. Taking photos before the black ice melts away will provide evidence of the condition, and exactly what it looked like, should you decide to file a claim for personal injuries.

Also make sure to receive immediate medical attention if you sustain injuries. If you do receive medical treatment, be sure to tell the nurses and and doctors exactly what caused your injuries. Delays in getting medical treatment can be harmful for your health, as well as damaging to any eventual personal injury claim you file.

Finally, contact a Boston black ice injury attorney. You may be entitled to financial compensation if your injuries from the fall were due to negligence. A qualified lawyer can make sure your rights and fully protected.
