What Should I Do After a Slip and Fall Injury? | Hire an Attorney
For instance, if you come to my office and you retain us as your lawyer in a slip in fall case, we will document what caused your injury by photographing it, videoing it, or speaking with witnesses right away. We’ll contact the insurance company and put them on notice of the claim. Then we will make sure you are following your doctor’s treatment protocol.
On a monthly basis, we will follow up with you to make sure you’re doing everything you need to be doing and also getting a status on how you’re doing. We will collect all necessary medical records, medical bills, and wage loss documentation to prepare a settlement demand. We will also most importantly be preparing your case for trial at the same time in the event that your case cannot be settled.
