Imagine yourself walking toward a restaurant in your hotel and there is a spilled drink on the ground. There aren’t any signs and you proceed as if there is no hazard on the floor and the next thing you know… you are on the ground in pain. Sadly, you end your night in the hospital.

Falls can lead to broken bones, severe and internal bruising, and traumatic brain injuries all of which can cause lifelong injury and damages.

Slip and fall accidents include:

• Liquid spills
• Exposed electrical wiring
• Protruding nails
• Weak or unsteady stairs and bannisters
• Unmarked steps or other hazards

What to do if you have a slip and fall

After you’re injured on another property you should take these steps:

1. Immediately report the incident to the store manager and make sure to fill out a statement and take a picture of it with your phone if you can
2. Ask if there are any cameras which would have recorded the incident
3. Take photos of the scene and what caused the fall
4. Record witness statements with what they saw. Be sure to collect name, phone number, email address and the date.
5. See a doctor regarding the injuries sustained
6. Contact Vasquez Law to review your case
