Three Things You Should Do if You’re Hurt in a Store

If you have already suffered an injury by slipping and falling, getting hit by falling merchandise or by being the victim of an attack that could have been prevented with adequate security, then you may be wondering what to do next.

Report the Accident

Regardless of the extent of your injuries, it is important to report any injury sustained in a store to the store manager as soon as possible.  Your report will not only provide the store with notice of your incident and potential injury, but it may also encourage the store to fix the condition that led to your injury.

See a Doctor

Our New York and New Jersey slip and fall lawyers recommend that everyone who is involved in a store accident seek medical attention regardless of the extent of the injuries. Only a doctor can determine how badly you are injured and whether you need treatment.
