What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident ?

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall, it’s crucial to document everything immediately. The experienced Rhode Island slip and fall attorneys know that proving negligence can be difficult. Take clear pictures of the area, capturing the dangerous situation that led to your fall. Inform management of the occurrence, demand an incident report, and ask for a copy for your files.

Prior to speaking with an attorney, avoid signing any waivers and avoid interacting directly with insurance adjusters. Get the contact details of any witnesses if there were any. Find out how long the risk existed and if workers knew about it.

When seeking medical attention, explain to your doctor that the accident caused your injuries and provide a detailed account of what transpired. By ensuring accurate documentation, you can stop the insurance company from denying or downplaying your claim. Keep in mind that insurance companies want to pay out as little money as possible, so they frequently push for low-ball settlements.

We at Almagno Law strive to get you the money you are due. To talk about your case and decide whether to pursue litigation or a settlement, get in touch with us for a free, private consultation.

Most Common Causes Of Slip And Fall Accidents​

  • UNEVEN SIDEWALKS OR FLOORING : Uneven sidewalks or flooring can cause serious falls. If negligence led to your injury, you may be entitled to compensation.
  • LACK OF PROPER WARNING SIGNS: Lack of warning signs for hazards can cause serious slip and fall injuries. Owners must provide clear warnings to prevent accidents.
  • WET OR SLIPPERY FLOORS: Wet floors can cause serious falls and injuries. If negligence is involved, you may be entitled to compensation.
  • POOR LIGHTING IN WALKWAYS : Inadequate lighting can make obstacles, spills, and uneven surfaces difficult to see, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
  • LOOSE CARPETS OF RUGS : Loose carpets and rugs can cause unexpected trips and falls, leading to serious injuries like fractures or head trauma.
  • ICE AND SNOW HAZARDS : Property owners must keep walkways clear of ice and snow to prevent dangerous slip and fall accidents.

Slip and Fall Injuries Can Have Serious Consequences

Whether caused by a slippery surface, an uneven walkway, or another hazard, slip and fall accidents often lead to severe injuries. Broken bones, head trauma, and soft tissue injuries are common—even for healthy or athletic individuals who have no way to anticipate the fall.

In many cases, the full extent of an injury isn’t immediately clear. Sprains, strains, and whiplash can lead to long-term pain and mobility issues if left untreated. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, seek medical attention right away, then contact Almagno Law. Our experienced slip and fall attorneys will fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

We may be able to help you recover damages for:

  • Ambulance and emergency services

  • Scarring and Disfigurement – Serious injuries may leave permanent scars that impact a person’s appearance and self-confidence.
  • Hip Fractures – Common in older adults, hip fractures often require surgery and lengthy rehabilitation.
  • Torn or Stretched Ligaments – Damage to ligaments in the knees, ankles, or shoulders can require surgical repair and long recovery periods.

Angela R - Rays

“I was in a car accident in New York in the bronx.  the insurance company did not want to pay me any money.  Lawrence sued in New York and through mediation got me over 150K for my shoulder injury. ”

Robert

“I was sued in federal court in Boston for a deal that went wrong with respect to stock my company sold.  The company was suing me for millions.  Lawrence got the whole thing against myself and my employees thrown out of court prior to trial including fraud charges.”

Chris C

“I was charged falsely by my ex for abuse, in addition to having her move to modify child support and custody. Lawrence fought back relentlessly, got the charges dismissed criminally and then was successful in negotiation a better child support payment and visitation schedule with full custodial rights then existed prior to the charge. ”

CP

“I was injured in Massachusetts in a car accident.  The insurance company said it was my fault and offered me 2k.  Lawrence sued and got me Policy limits, and then went after my insurance policy for underinsured benefits and I am sure he will get the same thing.  ”

Constance S

“I was told I met the maximum time i could obtain on my workers compensation benefits, no attorney would take my case.  Lawrence got me an additional 3 years on workers compensation.”

Helen

“I was hit by another car on 95 south.  The other driver tried to blame me.  Her insurance company sided with her.  Lawrence took them to court had an accident reconstruction expert piece back the accident, and with that the insurance company still would not budge.  Lawrence kept fighting and was taking the case to trial, when finally the insurance company realized they were not going to win.”
