One of the most important things to do if you are ever injured in a Connecticut slip and fall accident is to document the scene. This is true if you are injured at a local grocery store or on a neighborhood sidewalk. Certainly, these two scenarios will be different in many ways, but there will be some similarities to them as well.
A critical piece to proving your injury was caused by neglect is having evidence of the area and today, with a camera in your pocket, the best way to get this evidence is by taking pictures of the area. Here are three pictures you must get in order to properly document the injury in a way that will demonstrate what happened:
- Your injury. While you should also seek medical attention for your injury immediately, if you’re able to, take a photo of your injuries as well. This will offer photographic evidence that you were truly injured.
- Lack of signage. If you can demonstrate that the area was not properly supplied with signs warning of danger that will demonstrate neglect.
- The scene of the accident. Whether it was a raised lip of a sidewalk or a wet floor in a grocery store, you’ll want to photograph the accident because by the time you need to prove negligence it may be cleaned up or fixed.
In the time of a Connecticut slip and fall injury the camera in your pocket can be your best friend. Don’t be shy when using it and get the most critical pictures that will help you prove your case.
