Have You Had a Slip And Fall?

Some of the most common cases that we see here at Jenkins Law Firm are accidents involving slips, trips and falls. These types of cases can occur when the owner of a business or personal property fails to keep up with the maintenance of their property, which then results in a person being seriously injured due to slipping, tripping or falling. The biggest issue that we see with slip and fall injuries is that people do not know whose fault it may be. If you are confused by what rights you have during this type of accident, call Jenkins Law Firm at (602) 283-9868. We will work for you to ensure that you get the financial compensation that you deserve for your emotional and physical damages.

What Should You Do?

There are a few things that we highly recommend you do if involved in a slip and fall accident. You should be sure to:

• Avoid accepting fault or making any comments that may place the blame on you.
• Speak to witnesses and get their contact information for further assistance.
• Get information of the owner and managers of the property.
• Save any clothing, shoes, or other garments involved in the accident.
• Take as many photos of the accident as possible.
• Seek medical attention and make note of the injuries you have sustained.

Whether you are going to your favorite store to shop, or if you are simply out on an evening stroll, it is the responsibility of property owners to ensure that their property is safe and maintained. If this isn’t the case and you are injured because of their negligence, then you deserve to be compensated for any damages you may have sustained.

How Serious are Slip and Falls?

In some cases, slip and falls may lead to serious injuries that may drastically change your life. For example, you may not be able to work for a certain period of time due to an injury that you’ve sustained. You may also have medical bills and other fees that begin to pile up, and you won’t be able to pay for them if you aren’t working. As more and more obligations start to bury you, it may seem impossible to get back to a normal life. However, it’s important to remember that it is not your fault that you have been injured, so it’s certainly not fair that you are expected to be held responsible for this accident.
