Slip and fall claim: file free and get a free case review
Slip and fall injuries usually happen on someone else's property: stores, restaurants, apartment complexes, parking lots or workplaces. These are often called premises liability claims. Details such as what caused the fall and whether it was reported can matter, so write them down early.

What to gather before you file
You don't need everything to start. File with what you have, and add more later.
- Photos of what caused the fall before it is fixed or cleaned
- The name of the manager or person you reported it to
- The incident report number, if the business wrote one up
- The shoes you were wearing
- Photos of the scene, injuries and any damage
- Names and contact info of witnesses
- Medical records, bills and appointment notes
- Any report number (police, incident or accident report)
Good to know
Property owners are not responsible for every fall. Whether someone may be responsible depends on the facts and state law. That is exactly what the attorney review is for.
Legal deadlines apply to every injury claim and vary by state. We can't tell you your deadline, so please don't wait to talk with an attorney.
How filing works
- File online (about 10 minutes) or call the Super Intelligent Claim Line.
- An independent attorney licensed in your state reviews the facts for free.
- If the attorney can help, they contact you. You decide whether to go forward.

Slip and fall claim FAQ
The store made an incident report. Should I ask for a copy?
Many businesses won't hand one over, but write down the report number and the employee's name and include them in your claim.
I fell at a friend's house. Can I file?
You can submit it for review. Some homeowner policies cover guest injuries; an attorney can explain.
