8 steps after a slip & fall
What Should You Do After a Slip & Fall?
Get Legal Help After Medical Help.
After a slip and fall accident, your actions can significantly impact both your health and your ability to pursue compensation. Take the following steps as soon as possible.
At Elle Rudisill Law Firm, we help accident victims protect their rights, handle insurance companies, and pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If you were injured in a slip an fall or gotten hurt on someone else’s property, reaching out early can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case.
Seek medical attention immediately.
Your health comes first. Even if injuries seem minor, some conditions — such as concussions, soft tissue injuries, or internal injuries — may not be immediately apparent. Medical records also create critical documentation linking your injuries to the accident.
Report the incident.
Notify the property owner, manager, or business as soon as possible. Request that an incident report be completed and ask for a copy if available. Do not downplay your injuries when reporting the accident.
Document the scene.
Take photos or videos of the hazard that caused your fall (wet floors, uneven pavement, poor lighting, broken steps, etc.) before it is fixed. Capture wide shots and close-ups, as well as the surrounding area.
Gather witness information.
If anyone saw the accident, obtain their names and contact information. Witness statements can be crucial in establishing how the fall occurred and whether the property owner was negligent.
Preserve evidence.
Keep the clothing and shoes you were wearing at the time of the fall in their original condition. Do not wash or alter them, as they may become important evidence.
Avoid giving recorded statements.
Insurance companies may contact you quickly and ask for a statement. You are not required to provide one without legal representation, and statements can be used to minimize or deny your claim.
Document your injuries and losses.
Keep records of medical visits, treatments, prescriptions, missed work, and how the injury affects your daily life. This documentation supports your claim for damages.

What if a pedestrian was hit?
Pedestrians may file a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver.
What if a bicyclist was hit?
Bicyclists can file injury claims just like pedestrians.
What if a child was injured?
Children often receive less treatment. If no lasting injuries are present, settlements are typically lower.
What if it was a hit-and-run?
The outcome depends on whether the driver is found or Uninsured Motorists (UM) coverage applies.
Can passengers file injury claims?
Passengers generally have the strongest claims, provided they are not related to the driver.
What if I was a passenger in a rideshare?
If you are not related to the driver, you can file a claim against the driver’s insurance.
What if I was hit by a delivery driver?
Liability depends on the driver’s employment status. Some delivery drivers are independent contractors (1099), which can complicate coverage.
What if I was driving a company vehicle?
You can still have a valid injury claim.
What if a commercial vehicle caused the accident?
If the company has proper insurance coverage, settlement outcomes are often more favorable.
