What To Do If You Have Slipped Or Fallen In A Store
1. CONTACT THE MANAGER OF THE STORE:
We seem to be programmed after we fall in a public place, to feel embarrassed and walk away hoping no one saw us. The problem with this behavior is that the store isn't notified of the incident, how it happened, whose fault it is and if you are injured. If you are hurt and it is because of a problem they caused or allowed to exist, they should be made aware of it right after it happened so that they can see that it was their fault, if that is the case. Inform the manager that you want an incident report completed.
