The First 4 Steps to Take Immediately After a Premises Liability Accident

If you are harmed on another party’s property, it’s important that you take action as soon as possible to preserve your right to compensation. Steps to take include:

1. Notify the property owner. You must notify the property owner of your accident and your injuries as soon as possible in order to initiate the claims process. You should file a written report with the property owner, manager, supervisor, etc., and ask for a copy of this report.
2. Gather evidence. If you are able to at the time that your injury occurs, gather any relevant evidence at the scene. This includes pictures of the dangerous condition, names of any eyewitnesses, and a description of what you were doing when the accident occurred. The more evidence that you have, the easier your case will be to prove.
3. Get medical care. If you fail to seek medical care immediately after your accident, you may have a hard time proving that any injuries you’ve suffered–and for which you are demanding compensation–are related to the accident on another’s property. Getting medical treatment not only improves your chances of a better recovery but also is a type of evidence that is invaluable in a premises liability claim.
4. Contact a lawyer. Do not assume that just because you got medical care and filed an accident report the property owner will go ahead and offer you compensation for your injuries; property owners and their insurers are not eager to pay out settlements unless they are forced to. Working with a premises liability attorney can improve your chances of recovering the settlement amount that you deserve. As soon as you call Arash Law and the team led by Arash Khorsandi, Esq., we will begin building your claim, working with interested parties, calculating your damages, and negotiating your settlement.

Premise Liability Injury Statistics

In premises liability claims, property owners are responsible for inadequate maintenance, like lighting maintenance. According to the National Floor Safety Institute, Falls account for over 8 million emergency room visits, making them the leading cause of such visits.

Low visibility is also a common cause of accidents. Proper maintenance of the lights of a property can heavily influence whether or not people are injured on the premises.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that neglected floors and flooring materials contribute significantly to slip-and-fall incidents, causing over 2 million injuries annually. To hold property owners accountable for their negligence, seeking proper compensation for premises liability claims is crucial.
