What Do I Do After A Slip & Fall Accident?
Answer
First and foremost, seek immediate medical help. After you have received the medical assistance that you require, we advise you to collect witness information, speak with the property owner/manager and thoroughly document the accident. Finally, and most importantly, get legal help. Without an attorney in your corner, you will decrease your chances of maximizing your compensation.

Common Causes Of Premises Liability Accidents
Premises liability claims can stem from a wide array of property hazards and dangers. Such adverse conditions can lead to serious, sometimes disabling, injuries for unsuspecting individuals. If a property owner or manager fails to correct a known danger on his or her property, he or she may be held accountable for any injuries resulting from negligence.
