Slip and Fall accidents can happen anywhere and anytime, a grocery store, commercial property, at work, and sometimes, at a neighbour or friend’s private property. Very often these incidents can cause serious injury and life changing damages.

There are many steps that we can take to help prevent Slip and Fall accidents. Unfortunately our own precautions are sometimes not enough to stop these falls from happening. A homeowner must ensure that their driveway, walkways and steps are in good condition, and free of ice and snow in the winter. Homeowners must also ensure that the inside of the house is safe for visitors. Negligence on the part of private property owners is often the cause of Slip and Fall accidents.

If you are injured in a Slip and Fall accident, it is important that you take certain steps to protect your rights:

• Seek immediate medical attention
• Contact us as soon as possible
• Get the contact information of anyone who assists you at the accident
• Take pictures of where you fell and what caused you to fall
• Check if your private insurance will cover the cost of rehabilitation

Following these simple steps will help you receive financial compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses and other damages. Contact Rizzotto Law Firm as soon as possible after your accident!
