Whats One Way to Make Your West Palm Beach Slip and Fall Lawyers Job Easier?

A: Your West Palm Beach slip and fall lawyer will lean on you to build up your case. He or she will need cogent, logically sound arguments to hold a neglectful nursing home – or an abusive staff member – responsible for your injuries and damages. 

How can you help your legal team do a better job for you?
Honestly, one of the best things you can do is to take specific notes about what happened – ideally as early as possible after the event. For instance, let’s say that you slipped and fell while visiting an old friend at a West Palm Beach area nursing home. Depending on your condition, you may just be dazed or suffering from a “sprained ankle” or something along those lines. Or you may be in serious pain and in need of immediate emergency attention. 

If you can, ask and answer some of the following questions:
•Where exactly did the slip and fall occur?
•Did anyone see you? If so, who?
•Did you get that person’s name/contact information/relationship to the nursing home?
•How exactly did the accident occur? (be as specific as possible)
•Did you notice anything unusual around the area where you slipped and fell – e.g., a leaky refrigerator, an unkempt bathroom or hallway? Look for anything that might hint at neglect or carelessness.
•How were you discovered after you slipped and fell?
•Did anyone at the nursing home make any admissions of fault, such as “we really should have cleaned up that floor,” or “I told Larry not to mop over there.”

Now that you get the picture, continue to generate questions like this. Don’t worry about writing down “too much information.” Your West Palm Beach injury lawyer will help you sort out what’s useful later on. Connect with the team at the law offices of Craig Goldenfarb.
