What to do if you fall or are injured on someone else’s premises?

If you fall or are injured on someone else’s land or at a commercial, industrial, or retail establishment, take as many photos as you can so that you can document the cause of the fall. If you are being taken from the scene by paramedics, ask someone else to take pictures. Many slip and fall cases fail because there is no documentation of the condition of the premises when the injury occurred.

How long do you have to report a slip and fall?

Any accident or injury which occurs in a commercial, industrial, or retail establishment should be reported as soon as possible after the accident occurs, regardless of how badly you are hurt. There is not necessarily a deadline for such notifications but there is a deadline for filing suit for such accidents, depending on how, when, and where it happened.

What happens in the case of a slip and fall with wet floor sign present?

Just because a wet floor sign is present doesn’t mean that someone may not be responsible for the injuries caused by a slip and fall in that area. A wet floor sign is not a “get out of jail free card” or a shield for liability.

There are many factors that would create liability for a slip and fall accident even when a wet floor sign is in place, such as how long it had been there, where else such signs were located, how often they are in place when no such conditions exist, what caused the accident (maybe it wasn’t a slippery floor), etc. A skilled and experienced slip and fall attorney, such as those at Jinks Crow, can determine whether the facts of your case support a claim.
