3 Steps to Take to Protect Your New York Injury Claim

Your doctor, your New York injury lawyer, and you know that you've been seriously hurt in a slip and fall accident and that you need to recover legal damages in order to pay your medical bills and make up for your lost income. It should be simple to do. However, most of the time, slip and fall accidents are defended by insurance companies who make money by paying out as little as possible. Thus, it is important to know how to protect your claim and how to maximize your chances of a financial recovery.

Our New York and New Jersey slip and fall lawyers recommend that you do the following:
  1. See a Doctor as Soon as Possible After Your Accident. There are two reasons to see a doctor as soon as possible after an injury on someone else's property. First, it is important to get a proper diagnosis and to begin treatment for your injuries as soon as possible. Second, if you fail to see a doctor right away, an insurance agent may try and use that fact against you in later settlement discussions.
  2. Document Everything. The more details that you remember about the cause of your accident and your injuries, the better. If possible, take pictures at the scene of the accident, take notes of any hazardous conditions, and keep a record of your injuries and how they impacted your professional and personal life.
  3. Consult a New Jersey or New York Accident Attorney. Accidents that occur on someone else's property are often settled or tried according to state premises liability law. An experienced attorney can apply the facts of your case to the law and protect your legal rights.

If you have been hurt on somebody else's property because of a slip and fall accident, a fire, inadequate security, chemical exposure or any other type of negligent or intentional act, you may be entitled to damages.
