A wet floor with no signage, a stairway in poor condition or an icy sidewalk can cause injuries that affect work and daily life.
In these cases early documentation matters. We review with you what evidence exists and what steps may follow.

- Stairs without handrails or with damaged steps.

Common questions
What should I do right after the fall?
Seek medical attention, report the incident to the person in charge of the property and, if possible, photograph the condition that caused the fall before it is fixed.
Is the store incident report useful?
Yes, it can be relevant documentation. Request a copy and note the name of the person who prepared it.
What if there are no cameras at the location?
Cameras help, but they are not the only element. Witnesses, photographs and maintenance records can also provide information.
How long do I have to act?
Legal deadlines vary depending on the type of claim and the party involved. That is why it is best to consult as soon as possible.
