MIAMI SLIP AND FALL LAWYER
What To Do After A Fall
If you fall in a place of business, it is important to report the accident to the store manager or other employee. If anyone witnessed the accident, it is recommended to request a statement from them as well. Take photos of the scene and make note of the employee making the report. You want very detailed documentation and statements from as many witnesses as possible after your fall. The Law Office Of Irwin Ast has an experienced and dedicated slip and fall lawyer to help you every step of the way — from filing the initial claim, all documentation, to pursuit of all the other parties involved in order to give you the advantage you need.
If you fell in a public building such as an apartment complex, office building, parking lot, or even your own apartment, we will document the condition of the area that caused your fall. If necessary, we will hire an engineer to identify any building code violations that may have caused your accident.
It is important to document the scene of your accident from the beginning of your claim.
If you had a slip and fall in a major supermarket or department store, it is not wise to communicate with their claims department on your own. Companies like Sedgwick Claims Management may contact you. Do not talk to them.
Claims adjusters for these companies may offer a coupon or gift card to you for your troubles. Remember that a slip and fall can cause serious and even life changing injuries. Do not let an insurance claims adjuster convince you to settle your claim without speaking to a personal injury lawyer first. You may settle for less than you are truly owed. An experienced Miami slip and fall lawyer can speak to these claims adjusters on your behalf.
