The first initial concern in any slip and fall case is making sure that the owner of the property where you fell is immediately notified of your fall. If you fell in the grocery store or mall or apartment complex, you need to notify the staff at the property of your fall immediately. You then need to make sure pictures are taken of the dangerous condition which caused your fall. Spilled liquids or cracked sidewalks or broken hand railings can quickly be cleaned up and repaired in the hours after your fall so you want to make sure that you take pictures with your phone or camera of the condition so you can show what the area looked like at the time of the accident. If you have to send a family member back the scene that same day than you should.
