Injured From a Slip and Fall at Aaron’s*

A slip and fall is a common type of accident that can occur in virtually any location. A retail store like Aaron’s is no exception.

Have you been injured from a slip and fall at Aaron’s or any other retail store? You may be eligible for financial compensation if the slip and fall resulted from the ownership’s negligence. Consider speaking with a personal injury attorney to learn more about your options.

Possible Injuries From a Slip and Fall at a Store

If you’re injured from a slip and fall at Aaron’s or any other store, the nature of your injuries can depend on different factors such as how you landed. The following are common injuries that might result from a slip and fall:

  • Concussion/Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Fractures
  • Sprained or twisted ankle
  • Cuts
  • Bruises

It’s important to understand that the symptoms of injuries resulting from a slip and fall aren’t always immediately apparent. Never assume you’re uninjured just because you don’t notice symptoms right away. Always see a doctor after a slip and fall to confirm no treatment is needed.

Steps to Take After a Slip and Fall At a Store

Taking the right steps after being injured from a slip and fall at a retail store is key to preserving evidence. Improve your odds of receiving the compensation for which you may be eligible by:

  • Reporting the incident: Find an employee (ideally a manager, if available) and explain you wish to file an official accident report. Don’t say anything to suggest that the slip and fall might have been the result of your own negligence or actions.
  • Refusing to sign forms: Management or ownership might ask you to sign a liability form or similar form when you file the incident report. Don’t comply with this request.

Signing anything before you’ve had a chance to speak with a lawyer is a bad idea. Request a copy of the form and explain you’ll need to review it with a personal injury attorney before signing.

Evidence to Collect

Collecting evidence at the scene of the slip and fall when you’ve been injured at Aaron’s or any other retail store can also strengthen your personal injury claim. Ways to collect evidence include:

  • Photographing the accident scene, focusing on conditions that may have caused the slip and fall
  • Getting the names and contact information of witnesses who saw the slip and fall occur
  • Seeing a doctor and saving medical bills and all other documentation of your medical care

Don’t worry if you didn’t collect this evidence after your accident. You may still have a valid case. Speak with a lawyer for more information.

File a Personal Injury Claim

If you can show a slip and fall occurred because ownership was negligent in some capacity, you could file a personal injury claim with a retail store’s insurance seeking compensation for medical bills and similar losses. A lawyer who understands how insurance companies operate could assist you with this task.
