What To Do After a Slip & Fall Injury in Texas

These days slip & fall injuries are a leading reason for hospital emergency room visits. They are a leading cause of injuries at any age and include head injuries, hip fractures, back injuries, shoulder injury, ligament damage in the legs, knees and feet. These all make it quite challenging to live independently. If you or any of your loved ones have been injured in a fall accident on someone else’s property or due to anyone’s fault, it is crucial you understand your legal rights.

The common reasons for slip and falls events include wet and slippery floors, ice and snow, damaged surfaces, potholes and ditches, insufficient lightning and more. And these falls mainly happen in malls, grocery stores, restaurants, workplaces, hospitals, and private homes.

DON’T IGNORE THESE ISSUES AFTER A SLIP AND FALL

Falls can be costly, and if they are caused because of the fault of another person, a legal procedure with the help of a personal injury lawyer may be the only way to compensate for the financial loss, pain and suffering you have incurred. A Few Points To Keep In Mind After A Fall include:

Get Immediate Medical Assistance

While many fall injuries are minor, broken bones, head injuries, back injuries or internal injuries are not uncommon. It is important a doctor treats you as soon as possible so that you are out of any kind of important peril and at the same time obtain a written professional diagnosis of any injuries caused by the fall. The medical document will help your personal injury lawyer get you the compensation you deserve by proving what conditions were caused by the fall.

Identify Potential Causes Of Fall

You should inspect the area where you fell to know the root cause. You can write down your thoughts as soon as possible as it can aid your doctor in treating you and be valuable proof in the court and help your lawyer in Texas decide how to best handle your legal case.

Take Photos & Identify Witnesses

You should try to take photos immediately after the incident or before the situation changes. Along with that, also write down the name and contact details of anyone who saw you fall and others who were there after the accident took place.

Working with James Ames for my personal injury case was a great experience. I had some outstanding personal debt that delayed the process a long time, but Linda and James went above and beyond to help me get everything taken care of so my case could be settled. Very happy with the work they did and I will recommend them to anyone who may need their services. Thanks James!
