You’re going about your everyday life and in the blink of an eye, your whole life can change if you suffer an injury due to a slip and fall. Now you need a fall attorney in Maryland and don’t know who to hire… That’s where the Law Office of David Wasser comes in (based out of Rockville, Maryland).
As the best slip, trip, and fall attorney in Rockville, Maryland I am happy to share my knowledge with people that are looking for guidance after they suffered an injury due to a fall. Now, you may be asking yourself, who is this guy? And who called him the best slip, trip, and fall attorney in Rockville, Maryland?! I would simply respond to these skeptics (or haters if you prefer) that this mysterious and wise individual may have had a financial incentive to make that remark.
All joking aside, I have extensive experience working on personal injury cases and there are a few things you need to do once you have been injured in order to give yourself the best chance to have a successful outcome.
- First off you need to visit a medical provider/doctor as soon as possible so they can assess both your obvious injuries as well as check for latent injuries that may not be apparent right after your accident.
- Next, you need to think about where you fell.
- If you were anywhere besides your own property, there is a good chance that a business/person is responsible for keeping that area free from slip or trip hazards. This applies to rental properties as well.
- Then you need to think about why you fell.
- Some of the most common reasons are an icy sidewalk, or a slippery floor etc.
- Was the reason why you slipped or tripped preventable?
- Had this hazard (object/situation that caused your injury) been present for a substantial amount of time? (For instance: an uneven sidewalk)
- Once you have made sure you are healthy enough to get around safely, and you have determined that your accident was due to someone else’s negligence, you need to start documenting everything related to your potential personal injury case.
- This means taking pictures of where your accident occurred, and if possible, what specifically caused your fall.
- This also means you need to save any communications (emails, etc.) you have had with the person/people responsible for maintaining the area where you sustained your injuries.
- If you are unsure if a piece of information is relevant, hold onto it and let your attorney decide.
