Strong evidence is often what makes the difference in a premises liability case. Helpful documentation can include photos or videos of the hazard, your injuries, and the surrounding area. Witness statements from people who saw the incident happen or can confirm the unsafe condition existed beforehand can also be crucial to the strength of your claim.

Other key evidence may include incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance records, prior complaints, inspection logs, and communication showing the property owner knew (or should have known) about the danger. The sooner evidence is gathered, the better, since dangerous conditions are often repaired quickly after someone gets hurt
