The steps you take after a slip and fall accident can significantly impact your ability to recover compensation.

Step One: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Even if injuries seem minor, prompt medical care:

• Protects your health

• Creates medical records

• Links injuries to the fall

Delayed treatment can weaken your claim.

Step Two: Report the Incident

Always notify:

• Store management

• Property owners

• Apartment managers

Ask for a written incident report and request a copy.

Step Three: Preserve Evidence

Evidence includes:

• Photos of the hazard

• Footwear worn at the time

• Contact information for witnesses

Avoid making statements that suggest fault.

Step Four: Understand Oklahoma Fault Rules

Under Oklahoma law, compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies often attempt to shift blame to reduce payouts.
