Steps to Take After a Slip and Fall Accident
Knowing what to do can help protect your health and improve your chances of fair compensation.
When you walk into a local business or visit someone else’s home, you probably don’t think about safety risks. However, some negligent property owners don’t repair hazards in a timely manner and it’s their guests who pay the price.
If you have suffered a slip and fall injury because a property owner didn’t properly address safety hazards, Chaffin Luhana is on your side. Our lawyers could help you recover the compensation you need to pay your medical bills, replace your lost wages, and move on with your life.
STEP 1. Get Medical Care
See a doctor right away, even if you feel fine. Some injuries may take hours or days to appear, and having medical records can protect your health and support your claim. If you can, take pictures of the hazard that caused your injury and get the names of any witnesses.
STEP 2. Report the Accident
Many slip and fall accidents happen at businesses. Report the incident to an employee right away, and ask for a copy of the incident report for your records.
STEP 3. Call a Slip and Fall Lawyer
The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better. We’ll handle the insurance companies and protect your rights—at no cost unless we win on your behalf.
STEP 4. Don't Post on Social Media About the Fall
We’ve all played the game of telephone, and we know how easily the message can get lost. The same goes for your story. Posting just a few pictures or short updates can paint an incomplete picture of what you’ve endured and what you truly deserve.
STEP 5. Don’t Settle Too Soon
Insurance companies often push for quick, low payouts. Always check with your lawyer before accepting any settlement.

Slip and Fall Accident FAQs
1. What Are Some of the Most Common Causes of Slip and Fall Injuries?
Many slip and fall accidents are caused by wet floors, icy sidewalks, unsecured rugs or mats, cluttered walkways, and uneven flooring. Poor lighting can also be a contributing factor because it makes it difficult to see hazards.
2. How Can a Slip and Fall Attorney Help My Case?
Recovering compensation after a slip and fall is often more difficult than it sounds. When you work with an experienced slip and fall attorney, your lawyer can gather evidence to support your case, file an insurance claim on your behalf, and negotiate with insurance companies. If needed, they can also represent you in court.
3. Should I Hold Off on Treatment to Prevent Incurring Costs?
Absolutely not! You should seek immediate treatment and follow your doctor’s instructions. Your health and proper treatment are the most important things for you to focus on after an injury. Along with that, providing us with copies of your medical bills will typically increase what we can get you in a settlement.
4. My Doctors Instructed Me to Follow Up With Them, Is That Really Necessary?
The most important factor in a successful recovery is for you to follow your doctors’ instructions. This is particularly true because you may not feel significant pain now but that does not mean that you are not injured. It often takes days for ligaments, tendons and muscles to begin hurting after an accident. Once inflammation fully sets in, parts of your body that previously had only minor discomfort may show signs of a serious injury, including pain, stiffness and restricted range of motion.
5. How Much Does It Cost to Work With Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers?
Like most lawyers who handle slip and fall cases, the Chaffin Luhana team works on contingency. This means that you pay nothing up front. If we are able to recover compensation, you agree to give us a certain percentage of the total amount recovered.
6. How Much Will I Recover?
Each case is different. The amount recovered depends on a number of case specific factors. We will not be able to provide you with a range of values for your case until you are released from medical treatment by your doctors and therapists, we have done a thorough investigation and we have obtained all necessary records and evidence.
7. How Long Will It Take to Resolve My Case?
There is no standard timetable for any case. However, we have learned that when more work is done in the beginning of a case, it often speeds up the process toward the end of a case. This is why we immediately begin the process of investigating the facts of your case and working toward an eventual resolution.
