Hey , sorry to hear that — sounds like a painful experience. I actually dealt with something similar when my mom fell in a restaurant a couple years ago. It can be overwhelming in the moment, especially when you're in pain or embarrassed, but there are a few key things I learned from that incident (and from talking to lawyers afterward).
First, always take photos at the scene if you can — the wet floor, surroundings, your injury, anything. It’s really helpful for any future claim. If there are any witnesses, try to get their contact info too. Second, report the incident to the property manager or store employees right away and make sure it’s documented. Even if you don't go to the hospital immediately, seeing a doctor within a day or two is crucial — it creates a medical record and helps if your injuries worsen later.
We ended up contacting a law firm afterward, and they were really helpful in explaining our rights. If you’re unsure what to do next or whether you might be entitled to anything, you might want to check out this site:
