If you suffer a personal injury this winter be sure you contact an injury lawyer at The Law Office of Thomas L. Brayton, III, with offices in Waterbury, Connecticut and Bethlehem, Connecticut. You may be a victim of a slip and fall due to snow and ice or other slippery conditions. If this happens, an injury lawyer will tell you it is important to get the medical attention you need to ensure that you are okay or that your injuries are properly treated. It is also important to determine what you fell on and preserve proof of what caused you to fall. You can do this by taking a picture of what you fell on or getting a copy of surveillance footage, of the fall, particularly if you are at a commercial property, like a store. You can also do this by getting the names and telephone numbers of any witnesses. If you don’t do this it is often very hard to later track the witnesses down. Finally, you can be sure that the owner of the property or person in charge knows you fell and properly completes an incident report about the fall. That means you be sure that the cause of your fall is written down, on the report, in such a way that it makes sense and properly describes the condition that caused you to fall. For instance, if you fell on ice/snow, in a business parking lot, or spilled water, which is on a store floor, be sure the location and nature of the water or ice/snow is properly and descriptively described. An injury lawyer at The Law Office of Thomas L. Brayton, III can help you preserve evidence of your slip and fall and personal injury, so get in touch with us as soon as possible after the slip and fall, in the Waterbury, Connecticut or Bethlehem, Connecticut areas. Happy Holidays!
