Needham Slip And Fall Lawyer

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health estimates that during a year, about 30% of emergency room visits in Massachusetts are a result of unintentional falls. More than 33,000 results in a hospital stay with more than 750 fatalities. For Needham residents, slip and falls might happen while catching one on the MBTA stops on the Needham Line: Needham Heights, Needham Center, Needham Junction, and Hersey. They might also occur at home, at work, or while shopping at one of your favorite big-box retailers or one of the local businesses on Great Plain Avenue. Anyone can be a victim of a slip and fall accident, but trends across the state and the U.S. reveal that those who are over age 65 are at the greatest risk, especially for slip and fall accidents that result in fatalities.

Immediate Steps After a Slip and Fall in Needham

If you have suffered injuries from a slip and fall accident in Needham, you need to ensure that you have documentation for your personal injury suit. Your attorney will give you specifics, but here are some useful tips about steps to take immediately after your slip and fall:

• Seek medical attention immediately

  You might think that you are okay after your slip and fall, but not all injuries show up right away. Less severe fractures and breaks, as well as brain injuries, need to be checked out, so if problems occur later on the insurance company cannot claim that the slip and fall accident did not cause your injury. Head to your usual doctor or a physician at nearby Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Needham.

• Take pictures of the scene and your injuries

  Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain a safe environment, so when someone is injured, they also have the incentive to remove the hazard that led to your fall. Use your cell phone to take pictures or videos of where you slipped, if you are physically able.

• Only speak with your attorney about your accident

  Insurance companies are tricky and will go the extra mile to elicit responses from your or those close to you that might indicate that you are partially responsible for your own injuries. If you don’t chat about your case with others or post about it on social media, you are far less likely to have them use something that you have said against you.
