In the San Antonio area there are thousands of walk-in stores – This includes retail stores, grocery stores, convenience stores as well as more generalized walk-in places such as lobbys and shopping malls. At any given time there could be a slip and fall danger in these places. These dangerous areas may be from employees mopping without the proper warning signs or accidental spills by other customers. In any case, it is the responsibility of every store to identify and clean up any slick areas that may cause people to fall and hurt themselves.
What Should You Do If You Slip at a Store and Hurt Yourself?
As with all injures irrelevant of the nature, please get necessary medical treatment. Particularly with falls, you might twist your ankle or wrist (for example) with minimal discomfort initially, but deeper injuries to bone or tissue might present days to weeks later. The store you fell at will likely be responsible to reimburse you for any costs due to getting your injury checked out and treatment you receive. However, they may not be forthcoming about this and hope you or your insurance pays for your medical care. This is why it’s important to have a San Antonio slip and fall attorney review your case. Nearly all personal injury attorneys in San Antonio and Texas will review your case for free and not charge anything unless you are reimbursed for medical expenses, time away from work and long-term pain.
