Why Is Immediate Medical Attention So Important?
Prompt Medical Attention
Your body needs prompt medical attention for better healing. Not all injuries are visible or felt at the moment of the accident, which makes it critical to have a doctor perform a physical examination as soon as possible. In fact, some injuries may appear days after the incident. As a result, you may experience pain days after the fall which limits your normal life activities. Seeing a doctor will ensure your injuries are looked after appropriately and that they get documented accurately.

It is the responsibility of business owners, landlords, and property owners in general, to provide a safe premise. Slip and fall is an expression used under the more encompassing term of “premises liability”. This means that a property should be kept in reasonably safe conditions; therefore, if someone gets hurt because of a lack of safety, the property owner may be held responsible. Falling and getting injured on someone else’s property with proof of negligence on behalf of the business owner, landlord, or responsible person, may qualify for a Slip and Fall claim.
Slip and Fall accidents are difficult to prove because there are a lot of variables to consider before the premise owner is held liable. In a few instances, it is obvious or without denial who is responsible for the accident. However, variables such as a person’s age, type of shoes or clothing worn at the time of the accident, the amount of time food or liquids are left on floors, etc. are to be considered before someone is held liable for an accident. This is why it is important to document the incident as it happened, when it happened.
Having all these types of documentation will not only help build your legal case, it will assist your doctor to get a complete picture of what happened and the injuries you received. Our doctors will better determine the type of medical treatments necessary for you based on the information you give them.
