Trip, Slip and Fall Accidents
Almost everyone has fallen down.
Children just get up and go on, but adults are often embarrassed and try to minimize the incident. Injuries may not show up immediately. If you hit your head, you need to be taken to a doctor.
If you trip on public, commercial or private property, document the situation and what caused you to fall. Make sure you understand what unsafe condition caused your fall. Ask witnesses for their contact information. If you are too injured at the time have someone else document the incident for you as soon as possible.
There are over 17,000 deaths annually caused by falling.
