Step to take after a loss occurs to minimize further damage and keep yourself and others safe. As a reminder, please report any potential insurance claim to your agent or career.
- Inspect the entire property for any and all possible cracks and/or uneven areas.
- If there are sidewalk cracks or potholes in the parking/ walking area, schedule permanent repairs from a licensed and insured contractor promptly. Depending on the timing and location, this could take days or weeks.
- While waiting for repairs to be done, block off the damaged and/or uneven areas. If this is not possible, place a sign or utilize brightly colored spray paint to identify the damaged area and alert all individuals of the hazard.
- Continue to monitor your premises for possible trip and fall hazards so damages can be identified and repaired before an incident occurs.
