Unfortunately, slip and fall accidents happen much too frequently. Doing the right things after a slip and fall or trip and fall are very important in order to protect your legal rights. Should you have the misfortune of being involved in such an accident, keep the following in mind after a slip and fall accident:

1. If possible, photograph the scene of the accident (or have someone else do it as soon as possible if you are unable to do it yourself);
2. If you are injured, seek the appropriate medical attention for your injuries;
3. Document all out-of-pocket expenses you incur;
4. Report the accident immediately to the property owner (if feasible);
5. Before speaking with an insurance  adjuster, consult for free a local personal injury lawyer.
