What to document after a slip and fall

After a fall, attending to your health comes first. If an unsafe condition may have contributed, preserving details about the scene can help with a later legal review.

Record the condition while it is available

Photographs, witness information, and an incident report can help show where and how the fall happened. Note the time and location. Keep any relevant correspondence with the property owner or business.

Connect the event and your treatment

Save medical records and expenses, along with a timeline of care. A claim requires a review of the property condition, responsibility, and the relationship between the fall and the injury.

Incident reports and photographs; Medical records, bills, and appointment details; Names and contact details of witnesses; Insurance information and correspondence. These records can help explain your situation. Start with what you have, and ask the firm which additional information may be useful.
