What Should I do Immediately after a Slip and Fall, or Shortly after the Incident?
Atlanta slip and fall lawyers at Brandon Hornsby, PC encourage clients to always inspect the area where they fell and try to determine what caused them to fall? Additionally, they should write down the names, addresses and phone numbers of anyone in the vicinity where the incident occurred – both those who saw you fall, and others who were there after the incident. Even if someone did not see you fall, Atlanta Slip and Fall Lawyers at Brandon Hornsby, PC recognize that he or she could describe your pain and the conditions of the floor, lighting, etc. immediately after you fell. If the incident occurred in a store or place of business, speak with the manager or supervisor on duty. The attorneys at this Atlanta Slip and Fall Lawyer’s firm would suggest having them make a record of the incident, and get a copy of anything prepared by the business. If anyone (especially an employee, supervisor or manager) makes a comment suggesting that this has occurred before, or that they were aware of the condition before your fall, make a mental note.

What Should I Avoid doing after a Slip and Fall Incident?
