Your Injury Is Real—But Can You Prove It?

When it comes to a slip and fall at work, what actually happened can quickly turn into a matter of proof. If your employer or insurance company denies your claim, the burden falls on you to show what caused the accident—and that your injuries are valid.

At Grigorlaw, we specialize in helping injured workers collect and present the evidence they need to win their cases.

Step 1: Document the Scene Immediately

If you’re physically able, take photos or videos of the hazard that caused your fall—whether it’s:

• A wet or slippery floor

• Uneven surfaces

• Cluttered walkways

• Poor lighting

• Broken stairs or railings

Make sure to capture:

• Wide shots of the area

• Close-ups of the hazard

• The exact footwear or surface conditions

Step 2: Report the Accident in Writing

Tell your supervisor or HR department right away, and get a copy of the report. If your company has surveillance footage, request it immediately—it’s often deleted after a few days.

📌 Grigorlaw Tip: Mention every body part affected. Injuries that seem minor can develop into major claims.

Step 3: Get Medical Attention Right Away

Your doctor’s records will be one of the most credible forms of proof. The sooner you’re examined, the stronger the link between the fall and your injury.

Be thorough:

• Describe exactly how you fell

• List all symptoms—even small ones

• Follow all treatment recommendations

Step 4: Find Witnesses

Coworkers or clients who saw the fall can make or break your case. Ask them to write a short statement or be available to confirm what they saw.

Step 5: Hire Grigorlaw

The truth is, proving a slip and fall at work takes more than just evidence—it takes experience. We:

• Gather legal-grade documentation

• File the right claims under tight deadlines

• Push back when employers deny or delay

• Secure surveillance footage before it’s erased

You Deserve to Be Taken Seriously
