If you slip and fall in San Francisco or anywhere there are several things that you should do immediately. First, get the medical care you need. Next, look at the area where you fell. Do you see something that caused you to fall? Ask whoever is present if anyone saw you fall? Get the names and phone numbers of anyone near where your accident took place.
If the incident occurred in a store or place of business, make sure that the manager or supervisor makes a record of the incident and let them know that you want a copy of it. Pay attention to what people are saying, especially employees, about how you fell or why you fell.
Even if the condition that caused your fall is permanent, or semi-permanent – like a a store display or fixture – have someone photograph it. And if you are not able to do any of these things have a friend or family member do them for you.
