What Should You Do After Being Injured In An Accident?

1. Keep any clothing and shoes worn during the accident.

2. Generally avoid making any definitive statements about fault, either to the proprietor or within earshot of insurance adjusters.

3. Take photos of the scene that clearly show the layout and nature of the hazard.

4. Write down the names and contact information of any witnesses.

5. Get the names of the property managers and owners.

6. Most importantly, seek any medical attention that you may need.

Property law covers slips and falls, since Minnesota law states that the following sorts of incidents fall under its ambit: “slip and falls at commercial establishments caused by liquids or foreign substances; “trip and fall incidents caused by unsafe property conditions; “construction site accidents and, assaults by employees or business patrons in many states, business owners and property owners have a duty to provide a safe environment for individuals on their premises.” Business owners are expected to keep their stores in safe working condition, with the aisles, passageways, and floors free from dangerous spills and hazards.

If you have been hurt in an avoidable injury owing to negligence in keeping a property safe, your case may be appropriate for pursuing litigation related to premises liability.
