After any accident. It is important to seek any and all appropriate medical treatment. This may include: emergency treatment at an urgent care center or emergency department; follow up visits with your primary care provider; and consultations with medical specialists. Be sure to follow your medical providers’ recommendations for x-rays, imaging, or other diagnostic studies. They may also recommend chiropractic services, physical therapy, or other pain management services. Many injury victims require counseling, therapy, or psychiatric services in order to address the emotional distress of an accident.

Next, you should consult with an attorney who is experienced in handling slip and fall claims. He or she will identify who is at fault for the accident and negotiate with the insurance company. This process may include proving to the insurance company that their client was, in fact, at fault. It also includes the complicated process of determining the value of your claim. Insurance adjusters are tasked with paying as little as possible on as few claims as possible. Often, an insurance company will claim that your medical treatment was unnecessary or excessive, and attempt to get out of paying those costs. An attorney will protect your financial interests by ensuring that all of your medical bills are paid and that you are fairly compensated for your pain and suffering.

Finally, it is important that you do not discuss your accident with anyone until the case has been resolved.
