Slip and Fall Accidents. What type of evidence is required?

Slip and Fall Lawyers NYC Representing Injured Victims of Slip and Fall Accidents

It is important to have the right evidence when it comes to slip and fall accidents. As the plaintiff, it is up to you to prove your case and you need to tell your story in such a way that the insurer or the jury can clearly understand what happened and have the evidence it needs to rule in your favor. So what kind of proof do you need to have?

6 Types of Evidence Essential In A Slip and Fall Accident Claim

1) Photographs

As they say, a picture tells a thousand words; these pictures need to help you present the story of how you sustained your injury. The pictures should depict the accident scene, as close to the way it was when the incident occurred as possible. Make sure to get photos of the hazard that caused your slip and fall accident.

2) Surveillance video

There will not always be video footage of the accident or the scene, but if there is, you should get it. This video can show the cause of your slip and fall as well as whether someone knew about the hazard and ignored it.

Even if the video shows that you were partially at-fault for the accident, you need to obtain the footage to begin building your defense. Slip and Fall Lawyers NYC can help you recover the necessary surveillance.

3) Reports to property owner or manager

If you sustained your injury inside a business, you should have reported your injury to the property owner or manager. If so, recover a copy of that report. It will likely contain what caused the accident (e.g., torn carpet, spilled liquid, broken handrail, etc.), the injury itself, any treatment received, any investigations into the incident, and the names of any eyewitnesses.

4) Eyewitness statements

Eyewitness testimony gives an objective point of view of your accident. If there were any witnesses to your accident, their contact information should be on the incident report. Our Slip and Fall Lawyers can interview all eyewitnesses so you can give a better description of how the slip and fall accident occurred.

5) Your medical records

It is important for you to keep track of all the doctors and facilities who gave you treatment following the accident, as their testimony and records will be important evidence for your case. Your medical records will help you prove that your injury was the result of the slip and fall accident as well as what your injuries have cost you.

6) Expert testimony

In personal injury cases, personal injury lawyers often retain an expert witness to testify about complicated issues that the average layperson would not understand. The expert witness can also help prove fault, causation, prognosis, and the value of your damages. An experienced New York Slip and Fall Lawyer should be able to determine if expert testimony will be necessary.
