Documenting Your Florida Grocery Store Slip-and-Fall Accident

First, document your slip-and-fall accident in South Florida. You may not have a pen and pencil with you, but you more than likely have your cell phone. Get out your phone and take pictures of the accident scene. If there was liquid pooled in a certain area that you fell on, take a photograph of the floor and the container that the liquid came out of.

Then, type details of the accident into your notes section of your phone. Write down when the slip and fall happened, what time of day, and if anyone was around. Next, collect contact information from witnesses. Ask if anyone saw you fall, and collect their names and phone numbers in case you need to get a statement from them later on.

It is important to tell the grocery store manager about the incident and let him or her know you are going to seek medical care. If you are injured, you need to go to the emergency room at the local hospital to get checked out for injuries. It is important to seek medical attention after a South Florida slip-and-fall accident, not only for your health but also for your potential recovery.

Do not talk about the details with anyone else except your attorney, and do not post anything on Facebook or any other social media networking site.
