If you are injured in a slip, trip or falling accident, it is crucial to keep any records of the incident, to strengthen your case.
Photographs of the surface or hazard that caused the slipping or falling accident are very strong pieces of evidence. Make sure to use your mobile phone to take photos of the injury site where possible.
Your photos can highlight:
- Damaged flooring
- An obstacle that obstructed your path
- A liquid spillage
- Any other hazard that may have contributed to the accident
It is also important to take photographic evidence of the injury itself.
If you have a serious injury, as the result of the slip or fall accident, call an ambulance straight away. Make sure to keep records of all doctor’s visits, treatments and medication prescriptions. These will be needed to support your slip, trip and fall claim.
If possible, get contact details from anyone who might have witnessed the incident. Collect their names, email addresses and phone numbers. These people might be helpful in providing a statement that supports your slip and fall lawsuit.
With the support from your slip and fall lawyer, you will have the opportunity to recover funds. These funds can aid your recovery and make your suffering easier to overcome.
Additionally, compensation covers other damages related to your injury. These damages might include past and future medical expenses that would have otherwise been avoided.
In short, compensation from slip, trip and fall claims can cover the following needs:
- Perhaps most importantly, loss of earnings, if you can’t work due to your injury.
- Reasonable private medical costs, so you can access services such as rehabilitative therapy and any necessary nursing care.
- Travel expenses, such as to/from the hospital or work, if your injury keeps you from making your usual commute.
- In the case of fatal injuries, compensation can also include the cost of supporting dependents of the victim. It can also cover additional expenses for repatriation and burial.
There is usually a time limit when making a claim for slip and fall compensation of three years from when the injury occurred. There are exceptions to this, including where the injured person lacks capacity, or if the injured person was under 18 at the time of the accident.
