What to Do After Your Edison Mall Accident

If you have sustained injuries at Edison Mall in Fort Myers, it is best to know the right thing to do after the accident. When it comes to recovering from the injury, here is what we can advise you to do:

1. Take care of your injuries. If you need urgent medical help, ask someone to call an ambulance or to take you to hospital immediately.
2. Report the accident to the mall manager or employee. They should write a report of the accident. Ask for a copy of this report.
3. Take contact information of any witnesses of the event. They could help you prove your case later in the procedure.
4. Try to determine the cause your accident. Make sure it is included in the accident report.
5. Save your shoes and clothes in a zipped plastic bag. Your Edison Mall accident lawyer may want to test it later to prove the cause of your accident and injuries.
6. Take photos and videos of the scene. They could serve as evidence as well, but the mall management may not do it for you.
7. Call an Edison Mall accident lawyer. It is possible that you will be approached by an Edison Mall insurance company with an offer for settlement. Do not accept it before speaking to an attorney. Most often, these offers are not enough to cover for all your harms and losses due to the injury. A good lawyer will be able to advise you if it is a fair offer or not.

Liability for Accidents in Edison Mall

Establishing liability for your injuries properly is one of the keys to successful financial recovery. If you do it wrong and you claim damages recovery from the wrong potential defendant, in the end, you'll not only lose the case, but you may have to pay for the defendant legal fees and expenses. That's why it is wise to talk to a lawyer first.

It is often not clear as to who or what corporation may be liable for your personal injuries. In Edison Mall accidents, the mall may be liable under the Florida premises liability laws. These laws require them to provide a reasonably safe environment for shopping, dining, and entertainment. When Edison Mall breaches that duty due to negligence, and that causes accidents and injuries consequently, they can be held legally responsible for paying for the damages of the injured person.

However, there are plenty of stores and restaurants in Edison Mall that are just tenants there. It's not the mall that controls their premises. Each one of them oversee their own premises, hence the liability for injuries sustained may rest with the individual store owner.

Wherever your accident has occurred, don't rush to represent yourself. Instead, call the best Fort Myers personal injury lawyer you can find and get the answers to your questions. You owe it to yourself and your family. Don't be a silent victim - call us for your free consultation.
