Slip and fall incidents are nothing to laugh at. They can result in broken bones, head injuries, and even internal injuries. That’s why, no matter where the fall occurred, it’s essential to get medical attention right away. After you return, report the incident in writing to the proper authorities in the establishment in which you fell. Be sure to keep accurate records of all the evidence related to your fall. Never speak with the establishment’s insurance company or sign a release until you’ve consulted an attorney. Injuries from slips and falls often have long-lasting effects. They can last years after the initial injury occurred.
