If you or someone you know has been injured as a result of a slip and fall injury, find out your legal rights and obtain assistance from a knowledgeable slip and fall attorney as soon as possible. Slip and fall accidents typically occur when someone slips, trips, or falls as a result of an area which is wet, poorly lit, or uneven. The legal Team at Freeman & Mallard LLC will properly investigate and evaluate your claim to preserve the testimony of witnesses and evidence as necessary to preserve your rights and maximize your recovery for damages. Your slip and fall injury may render the property owner liable, if the slip and fall was preventable due to negligent and unsafe conditions.

Our job is to recover compensation for the pain and suffering that you have endured.

Some things to consider after a slip and fall accident

If possible, immediately inspect the area where the fall occurred and try to determine what caused the fall. Additionally, write down the names, addresses and phone numbers of anyone in the vicinity where the incident took place – both those who saw you fall, and others who were there after the incident. Even if someone did not see you fall, and there are no witnesses we recognize that it is much easier to describe your pain and the conditions of the floor, lighting, etc. immediately after you fell while it is still fresh in your mind. If the incident occurred in a store or place of business, speak with the manager or supervisor on duty immediately. Typically the business will have an incident report form for you to fill out. We would encourage you to be very careful about signing any statement regarding the incident; if there are any errors, or if it sets out part of the facts but not all of them, you may be held to an incomplete or misleading representation of the facts. Make sure to get a copy of anything prepared by the business. If anyone (especially an employee, supervisor or manager) makes a comment suggesting that this has occurred before, or that they were aware of the condition before your fall, make a mental note.
