Have you been injured at a Bargain Hunt or any other discount store in a slip and fall accident? If so, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your medical bills and related losses.

Filing an insurance claim to seek compensation is an option if the slip and fall resulted from ownership’s carelessness. If the insurance company won’t offer a fair settlement, you may file a lawsuit.

Possible Injuries From a Slip and Fall at a Discount Store

If you’ve been injured from a slip and fall at a store, many factors can affect the specific nature of your injuries. Examples of injuries you might sustain in a slip and fall include:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
• Wrist injuries
• Hand injuries
• Arm injuries
• Twisted ankles
• Sprained ankles

Never assume you’re not injured after a slip and fall just because you don’t have any symptoms. It’s possible you’ve been injured from a slip and fall without realizing it. See a doctor to make sure you’re unharmed.

Steps to Take After a Slip and Fall At A Discount Store

Taking the right steps after a slip and fall at a Bargain Hunt or any other discount store may improve your chances of receiving compensation. Steps to take right after the incident include:

• Report the slip and fall to an employee. If a manager or owner is available, talk to them. If not, speak with the highest-ranking employee on the premises. Ask to file an official incident report.
• Do not admit fault when speaking with an employee, manager, or owner. Don’t even say you were looking at your phone before the slip and fall. In addition, someone may ask you if you feel injured. Tell them you can’t say whether you’re injured until you’ve seen a doctor.
• Don’t sign any liability forms or other forms an employee or owner asks you to sign. Speak with a personal injury lawyer before signing anything.

Seeing a doctor immediately after being injured from a slip and fall is vital. However, you may also collect evidence at the scene of the incident before leaving.

Evidence to Collect

Evidence you can collect at the scene of the slip and fall includes:

• Photos of the condition(s) that may have caused the fall
• Photos of your injuries
• Contact information of witnesses

You’ll also need medical documentation to submit with your claim. Providing medical documentation helps you demonstrate why you deserve the compensation you’re seeking. Thus, it’s also important to keep copies of your medical bills and records starting from when you seek treatment on the day of the slip and fall.

File a Personal Injury Claim

Filing a personal injury claim after a slip and fall at a discount store like Bargain Hunt, or any discount store requires:

• Gathering evidence to prove the slip and fall resulted from store ownership’s carelessness
• Determining approximately how much money you may deserve based on the extent and nature of your injuries and other losses
• Submitting a claim to the insurance company
• Negotiating a fair settlement

You don’t have to handle these tasks yourself. Your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve may be greater if you have representation from a personal injury attorney.
