    Avoiding Mistakes that Can Ruin Your Personal Injury Case After a Slip and Fall Accident

    JonathonBy JonathonOctober 18, 2023No Comments3 Mins Read

    A slip-and fall-accident can lead to serious injuries. Thankfully, you may qualify for monetary compensation if you sustained serious injuries because of negligence. But to have a greater chance of securing compensation, you need to avoid making mistakes. You can do so by working with one of the best injury attorneys at Sattiraju & Tharney. Here are mistakes you should not make when bringing an injury claim against a property owner:

    Not Collecting Important Evidence

    To increase your chances of securing the compensation you deserve, you must show that the accident resulted from a dangerous condition and that negligence was an issue. If you are physically able to do so, try to collect evidence while you are still at the accident scene. This includes taking photos of the dangerous conditions as well as collecting the names and contact information of witnesses. Also, the shoes you were wearing when the slip and fall accident happened can be used as evidence. 

    Not Seeking Treatment As Soon as Possible

    After a slip and fall injury, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible. Never wait days or even weeks to see a doctor. This is important for both your safety and legal claim. Otherwise, the defendant may assert that you were not as seriously injured as you claimed. Also, they may argue that your injuries did not directly result from the accident. 

    Keep in mind that some serious injuries may not be noticeable immediately due to a lack of visible symptoms. But a visit to a doctor will let you get a thorough medical evaluation that can help determine whether or not you sustained injuries, how serious they are, and what treatment you need for them. 

    Not Filing a Claim Promptly

    After slipping and falling on somebody else’s property and sustaining injuries due to negligence, you should bring a claim as soon as possible. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident or injury. If you miss this legal deadline, you may not be able to secure compensation from the negligent party. 

    Your attorney will advise you to file an injury claim as soon as possible. Not taking prompt action can result in evidence being altered or lost. Also, the memories of witnesses can get unclear over time. 

    Not Hiring a Lawyer

    An experienced personal injury lawyer can evaluate the injuries you sustained and your damages. Also, they can negotiate a fair settlement with the owner of the property or their insurer. They can give you solid representation if your case goes to court.
