Tucson, AZ Premises Liability Lawyer

What Should You Do After an Accident on Another’s Property?

While you may be hurt and confused after an accident occurs, you may be able to take steps that could help you get full and fair compensation in the future. It’s important to gather as much data and evidence as possible so your lawyer can show what caused your injuries and other losses.

• Report the Accident. When an accident occurs, report it to the person in charge. This could be a manager, supervisor, or whoever is in charge at that time. When you’re writing out your report, you need to be as detailed as possible. The incident will be fresh in your mind and you could record details that you could leave out if you give the report days later. This will also document the day of the incident.
• Take Photographs. Taking pictures of the hazard and your injuries can help show that you were a victim of negligence.
• Seek Medical Attention. When you’ve done what you can at the accident scene, you’ll need to get a medical evaluation so you’re able to find out the extent of your injuries. A doctor will be able to assess you and begin treating you. While you may feel okay after the accident, you should still see a doctor as you could be in shock and this can mask symptoms of injuries. The injuries will also be on your medical record to show they arose after the accident.
• Reach Out to a Premises Liability Lawyer. Now that you have made an accident report and have taken care of your health, you can start looking toward the future. A Tucson, AZ premises liability lawyer can help you get justice.

When we’re seeking compensation for you, our lawyers will look into what the accident has cost you in medical expenses, days away from work, and how long you’ll have to deal with your injuries. We’ll seek the following damages:

• Lost Wages, Diminished Earning Capacity, and Loss of Earnings
• Medical Expenses (Past and Future)
• Property Damage
• Pain and Suffering
• Loss of Enjoyment of Life
• Mental Anguish

As we’re handling your claim, it’s important for you to protect your rights, too. You may have an insurance adjuster contact you to try and get you to settle your claim. They’ll likely not offer you the full compensation you deserve. While we can communicate with the insurance company, you should also take measures to protect the information you put on social media.

Insurance companies can take information from your social media and try to use it to reduce your claim. If you’re posting photos or about how you’re feeling, then they may say your injuries aren’t as severe as you claim. The best way to prevent this is to set your accounts to private, not post anything about the case, and perhaps refrain from posting updates on social media at all. If you have any questions, a premises liability attorney from our law firm can help you.
