Unexpected accidents can lead to much worse outcomes than mere embarrassment. Broken limbs, damage to the brain or spine can mean long periods of medical treatment and in the end this may lead to bills that you cannot afford to pay.
If you are sure that you were not to blame for the accident, then you should strongly consider getting the support of a personal injury attorney to help pursue legal action against the property owner or whoever was at fault.
Slip and Fall Accidents Can Happen Anywhere
Accidents can happen when you least expect them to happen, but all it takes is for the person or people who are in charge of the place you are visiting to be lax about keeping an establishment safe.
Most restaurants are clean, safe and orderly. Accidents are very unlikely to occur in these establishments. Most accidents when they do occur at a restaurant happen because employees have allowed a floor space to become slippery.
Water, drinks, food or grease are the most likely culprits. Sometimes, patrons at a restaurant can trip over things that are lying on the floor. This could be trash like empty food containers or just loose carpeting or floorboards.
To avoid a "he said - she said" situation crucial evidence and witness statements are important whenever a personal injury claim has been initiated.
Use a Personal Injury Attorney to Help You With Your Personal Injury Claim
It is important to contact an attorney as soon as it is practicable after an accident as evidence can soon disappear and witnesses start to forget what happened at accident location. An attorney can help you write a slip-and-fall demand letter, which is critical to begin any personal injury claim.
