Why You Should Take Photos Of Your Connecticut Slip And Fall Injury

If you get into a situation where you’ve experienced a Connecticut slip and fall injury you may not be in the right frame of mind to pop back up and start snapping pictures of your fall. You may be embarrassed or worse you may be hurt.  However, taking photos of the accident is critical to your ability to hold those responsible for your injury accountable.

After your fall, if you are able, you should get up and take photos of the entire area and situation where the fall occurred. If you cannot get up, seek medical attention immediately. If you can, take photos of the following:

• The cause of your fall
• The surrounding area, including any obstructions to your vision
• Your injuries
• Any signage (or lack of signage) that may have been around

If you are unable to take photos yourself, see if you can ask someone you were with or a bystander to take photos for you. It may be embarrassing to do that, but it is necessary to ensure that you document the scene of the accident.

A Connecticut slip and fall injury may not be your fault and you should be able to hold the responsible party accountable. The best way to do this is to document your injury to the best of your ability at the time. If you try to go back to the location where you fell, the area may have changed and it will be difficult to document the true scene that was there at the time of your fall.
