After a slip and fall accident, it is crucial to take immediate steps to protect your well-being and strengthen any potential claim. First, seek medical attention promptly to address any injuries. Once you’ve received care, report the incident to the property owner or manager for proper documentation. If possible, take photographs and note any hazardous conditions that contributed to the slip or fall. Finally, gather contact information from any potential witnesses who may have observed the incident, as their accounts can be invaluable in supporting your case.
