Answer:

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall on a residential property, it’s very important that you document the scene immediately, if you’re able to. If you can or have someone with you that can, take pictures of what caused your injury and fall immediately, because oftentimes that evidence will disappear and it may be needed later down the line.

The next thing you should do, if you’ve been injured, is contact an experienced lawyer. Issues like that involving cases against a homeowner or a property owner can be complicated, and you need a lawyer that has experience with those types of cases. Oftentimes, it’s not going after that individual personally, it’s going after their insurance company. Most pieces of property and most homes have homeowner’s insurance, so it’s important that you hire a lawyer that has experience with those types of cases and can assist you and help you get full and fair compensation for your injuries.
