Video: Slip and Fall Injury? Here’s What To Do Next

Do you know what common mistakes after a slip and fall claim to avoid?

Question:

What are some common mistakes people make if they have been injured in a slip and fall?

Answer:

A common mistake that someone may make with a slip and fall injury claim in Florida is not contacting an attorney immediately. We’ve recently spoken to a lady who tried to handle the case on her own for the first few months, was not able to get anywhere with the insurance company, and then came to us. She’s already months behind, where she could have already been negotiating her settlement, and we have to get the case and put the case together. What happened in that case is she did not put the defendant restaurant on notice of her fall, and there was a video of the accident that was destroyed by the restaurant because they did not know that she was going to make a claim.

If you hire an attorney right away, that attorney can then put the restaurant or premises on notice, and then they can get any evidence that exists, such as a video, potentially an incident report and witness statements. Those things can help ultimately maximize the value of your case. Try to hire an attorney right away. We have four board-certified civil trial attorneys at our law firm, which means we’re experts in the area of personal injury, and we understand how to handle slip and fall cases and help clients navigate through those.
