These are only a few of the factors that a lawyer for slip and fall cases will analyze when investigating your case.

There are several types of slip and fall accidents;

•    slippery surface falls
•    falls on defective stairwells
•    fall from a defective  terrace or balcony
•    parking ramp falls

Gathering Evidence
When possible, we recommend the following:

•    Photos: Take photographs of the scene of the accident.
•    Witnesses: If someone witnesses your fall, try to get their name, address and telephone number.
•    Accident Report. If you suffer injury make sure you file an accident report.
•    Evidence. We recommend you save the item that caused your fall and preserve your footwear.

It is also very important to investigate fault for the accident at an early stage and identify all responsible parties. At Edsonlegal we hire private investigators for this purpose where serious injury has been suffered.

It is also of the utmost importance that notice to the appropriate government authority be given quickly after your fall if you fell on government property . Failure to give timely notice may defeat your claim. At Edsonlegal we will advise you respecting the formal notice of your claim that needs to be given before we are retained .
