Premises Liability Injury Claims | What to Do After an Accident
As you’ve learned, these claims aren’t easy to prove even though they may seem simple. Here’s how you can help your claim. The following can help a Phoenix slip and fall lawyer who is reviewing your potential claim:
- Take photos of the accident scene. Make sure that you include at least one picture that shows the cause of your slip and fall.
- Write down the names and contact information of anyone who witnessed what happened.
- If you’re visiting a restaurant, retail establishment, or other business, ask for an accident or incident report to be created. Get a copy of it. If they say they cannot create one, call the police. Although the accident happened on private property, the police can respond and create an informational report. You can get the report number from the responding officer.
- Keep all of your medical bills and receipts related to what you pay so that your injury may be treated. Make copies of this information.
