What should I do right after a slip and fall in a retail store?

Report the incident immediately, take photos of the scene, collect witness information, and seek medical attention. Documentation strengthens your potential claim.

Common injuries include sprains, broken bones, concussions, back injuries, and soft-tissue damage that may require long-term treatment.

How do I prove negligence in a retail store slip and fall case?

Proof often includes showing that a dangerous condition existed, the store knew or should have known about it, and failed to take reasonable action to prevent your injury.

What defenses do retail stores use in slip and fall lawsuits?

Stores may argue the hazard was “open and obvious,” that they acted quickly to clean it up, or that your distraction or footwear contributed to the fall.

When should I contact a slip and fall attorney?
