If you've suffered injuries from a fall and believe you didn't receive proper medical attention, prioritize your health by seeking a thorough evaluation. Document your injuries with photos. Contact your insurance company to discuss coverage, and preserve all evidence related to your injuries.

You have to decide what amount you want to settle the claim, understanding that it will likely result in an offer lower than what you demand. Take into account medical bills, list wages. And pain and suffering at the very least when making a demand.
