Slip-and-fall cases often hinge on quick action and strong evidence—because conditions can change or disappear within hours.

If you’re able, try to preserve:

• Photos of the hazard (wet floor, ice, broken surface, poor lighting)
• Your clothing and shoes (unwashed)
• Incident reports filed with the store
• Names and contact information of witnesses
• Surveillance footage (request this as soon as possible)

It’s also important to document:

• When and where the fall happened
• How long the hazard may have been present
• Whether warning signs were posted

At our firm, we move quickly to secure evidence before it disappears, because building a strong case starts from day one.
