Trip/Slip and fall accidents are extremely common and though most of them may result in minor injuries, some of them can and do unfortunately have serious consequences. The injured victim may be unable to work for extended periods or even permanently, they may lose their jobs, resulting in enormous financial and emotional stress. Medical expenses may spiral out of control, while the pain and suffering experienced by the victim can result in a range of psychiatric issues.

Though we term them “accidents” many of these mishaps are avoidable if they’re caused by the fault/negligence of the property-owner/occupier. The injured are entitled to seek compensation from those responsible by filing a personal injury claim, preferably with the help of a Tara personal injury lawyer.

Important Facts to Remember

Unexpected mishaps cause chaos, confusion, pain etc and people and those close to them are usually in a state of shock following an injury. However, as our Tara slip and fall accident lawyers can tell you, it’s important to maintain some degree of calmness and take certain steps to protect your rights.

Either your own insurance company or that of the at-fault party must make the settlement pay-out when you make a compensation claim. However, as our top-rated accident lawyers are well aware, insurance-companies adopt a variety of strategies to reduce or avoid settlement. They may deny, dismiss your claim or could delay  responding till the legal deadlines have passed. In all such cases, a top toronto personal injury lawyer can best advise you.

These tips can enhance your chances of a swifter and more satisfactory settlement:

• Preserve the clothes and shoes you were wearing at the time
• Take photos of the location, clearly showing the fault that caused your accident and how it resulted in injuries
• Get contact details of witnesses if any, even if they didn’t directly witness the accident – they can describe the condition of the location
• Report the accident immediately to someone in authority and get a written confirmation/acknowledgement if possible
• Avoid inadvertent admissions like “I’m sorry, it was my fault” to anyone, even bystanders

Experienced personal injury lawyers can protect your rights and safeguard your interests.
