Slip & Fall
Get medical assistance as quickly as you can after a fall. Even though hiring a lawyer is crucial, your health and well-being should come first. Tell the doctor that a fall caused your injuries. Get this in writing so you can begin being reimbursed for all of your medical expenses, lost pay, and other losses or damages.
