What Should You Do After a Fall?

If you are injured in a slip and fall, take reasonable steps to preserve evidence. Report the accident, obtain medical attention, take photographs of the area and your injuries if possible, and keep records of your medical treatment and expenses. If there were witnesses, obtain their contact information. Most importantly, do not assume that an accident is too minor to discuss with an attorney or that you have no claim simply because the property owner or insurance company says so.

In most New Jersey personal-injury cases, there is a two-year statute of limitations, although different rules and deadlines can apply in certain circumstances, including claims involving public entities.

Every slip and fall case is different. The circumstances of the accident, the condition of the property, the owner's knowledge, your injuries, and the available evidence can all affect whether you have a viable claim. This case was a complex case with serious injuries.

If you have been injured in a slip and fall in New Jersey, speaking with an experienced personal-injury attorney can help you understand your rights and determine what steps should be taken to protect your claim.
