Collecting Evidence After A Fall

The first step toward resolving a successful claim is gathering the evidence needed to prove that someone else’s negligent actions resulted in your injury. The Barnes Firm’s top Long Island injury lawyers have decades of combined experience helping New Yorkers gather the right pieces of evidence, and get the maximum compensation they’re owed.

Wherever you experienced your accident or fall, our team suggests taking the following steps:

1. Take Pictures. A picture is worth a thousand words. A photo of the area where you fell can show the dangerous conditions that caused your injuries. Be sure to include photos of your injuries, too. Wounds can heal quickly, so fresh photos can best show the severity of your accident.
2. Get An Accident Report. If your accident happened in a public place such as a grocery store, gas station or other public building, be sure to file an accident report! You can do this by getting a hold of the store manager or owner who is required to document your accident. Be sure to get a copy of the report too!
3. Collect Evidence. However your accident happened, it’s important to preserve evidence. This includes your clothing, shoes and any items that may have caused you to fall.
4. Talk To Witnesses. Did anyone witness your fall? If so, be sure to get their contact information. This includes their name and phone number. Witnesses are typically happy to help if you’ve suffered due to someone else’s negligence and their testimony can be invaluable to your case.

Falls On Uneven Pavement Or Stairs

Another common type of accident includes tripping and falling on uneven pavement or stairs. We’ve all seen loose railings or raised sidewalks and thought, ‘wow, that seems like an accident waiting to happen.’ They typically are accidents waiting to happen!

The good news is, these accidents are 100% preventable with proper maintenance and common courtesy. However, too many businesses across Long Island neglect their responsibilities to keep customers and other agents safe. When this happens, they can be held liable for any injuries you’ve sustained.

Whether you tripped on a crumbling sidewalk, or fell down a slippery flight of stairs, know that you have legal options and the potential to recover significant compensation.
