slip and fallCommon places they can happen

Slip and falls are common in department stores, restaurants and grocery stores, but can happen anywhere. Most common is a victim that has fallen in water or liquid in a grocery store. Most grocery stores have smooth surface flooring, when they are wet, they become extremely slick. If you never see the liquid on the floor and fall because of it, it is possible you have a slip and fall case.

The negligent party might try and settle a slip and fall case right away to avoid any further compensation being paid out. It is a mistake to accept this compensation, especially if you have not seen a doctor to determine the extent of your medical issues.

Pain associated with slip and fall injuries may not be apparent right away.  The pain may come days later. After this type of accident you need to get to a doctor to get a full evaluation. If you wait, you could prolong your healing process. When you are hurt, your body goes to work repairing the damage. If you wait or never go see a doctor after you have fallen, you may increase your chances of having long term effects.

Attorneys

It would be wise to see a doctor before considering hiring an attorney. A doctor will be able to do a full evaluation to determine the extent of your medical issues.
