What should I avoid doing after a slip and fall accident?
Be very careful about signing any statement regarding the incident. If there are any errors, or if it sets out part of the facts but not all of them, you may be held to an incomplete or misleading representation of the incident. If you do provide a statement, get a copy for yourself. Be careful also about what you say. Saying something like, "I'm so clumsy, it probably was my fault," may be a natural reaction, but would hurt your claim, even if it turns out that others were at fault for your injury.
If the landowner has insurance (which is likely), a claims adjuster may call you to take a statement over the phone. Before providing a statement to a claims adjuster, or a subsequent statement to the land owner, you may want to speak with a personal injury lawyer to discuss your rights. |
