What to do after a slip & fall accident?

Accidents involving slips and falls can result in injuries, so your health is the number one priority. There are steps to be taken if you have been involved in a slip and fall accident. We have detailed some of the steps here.

Your health should be your number one priority. If needed, dial 911 for medical help from the accident scene. Or, if you have been hurt, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

If you or someone at the accident called 911, the local police may show up to perform the initial investigation. If you are able, obtain the accident report case number. The police may give you the report number, which is not the actual accident report itself. This report number allows you to order the actual accident report once it is available.

If you or someone you know is able, take photos of the accident scene. Include photos of the vehicles involved as well as the accident scene such as the intersection, road conditions and any possible contributing factors like construction or obstructions.

Contact the Molina Law Firm so that we can get the details of your case and let you know what to expect. We offer free personal injury accident consultations and you never pay a fee unless we win your case.

Frequently asked questions about slip & fall accidents

You should report the injury to the property owner then seek medical attention. Even though it may seem minor at first, you could have injuries that will not manifest itself initially such as internal organ damage or brain injuries from concussions. The hospital will document your visit and your complaints.

In Texas, if your employer participates in the Texas Workers’ Compensation program, you cannot sue your employer in court, but your medical bills and lost wages will be paid by the workers’ compensation insurance. If a third party (not your employer) was at fault for the accident, such as faulty equipment or unsafe condition at the property owner where your employer had you go to work, then they may be liable to provide additional compensation.

Property owners and homeowners may be required to maintain liability insurance in the event that someone gets hurt on their property. When a claim is filed, the insurance company should compensate you for the costs and loss associated with the accident. Often, insurance companies use tactics to lower the amount of money they have to pay. It is a good idea to seek legal assistance to ensure that you get compensated for ALL your losses. Attorney Rick Molina will help you get maximum compensation for your injuries.
