A visit to Reunion Tower offers some of the best views of Dallas, but accidents can happen anywhere. If you are injured because of a fall, unsafe condition, or another incident at the tower, the steps you take afterward can affect your health and ability to pursue compensation

Keep reading to learn what you can do to help protect your rights.

Step 1: Seek Medical Attention

Your health should be your priority after an accident. If you are seriously injured, ask someone to call 911 or request medical assistance from staff. Even if your injuries initially seem minor, consider being evaluated by a medical professional. Some injuries may become more noticeable in the hours or days after an accident. 

Medical records can also help document your injuries and connect them to the incident.

Step 2: Report the Injury

Report the accident to Reunion Tower staff or management as soon as possible. Explain where the accident occurred and what happened, but avoid guessing about details you do not know or accepting blame for the incident. Ask whether an incident report will be prepared. 

If possible, obtain a copy or write down the name and contact information of the person who took your report.

Step 3: Document the Accident Scene

Conditions can change quickly after an accident. A spill may be cleaned, damaged flooring repaired, or objects moved. Photographs and videos can help preserve evidence of what the area looked like when you were injured. 

Try to document:

  • The condition that caused your accident
  • The surrounding area
  • Warning signs or the lack of warnings
  • Your visible injuries
  • Your clothing and footwear
  • Anything else that may show how the accident occurred

Take photographs from several angles if you can do so safely. You should also keep the clothing, shoes, or other personal items involved in the accident rather than throwing them away.

Step 4: Get Information from Witnesses

Other visitors or employees may have seen the accident or the dangerous condition that caused it. Ask witnesses for their names and contact information before leaving the area. Witness testimony may become important if there is a disagreement later about what happened. 

A witness may also have information about how long a hazard existed or whether employees knew about it before your accident.

Step 5: Keep Records of Your Injuries and Expenses

Keep documents related to the accident and your recovery in one place. These records can help show the financial and personal impact of your injuries. 

Important records of economic and non-economic damages include:

  • Medical bills and records
  • Prescription receipts
  • Transportation expenses
  • Pay stubs or other proof of lost income
  • Communications with insurance companies
  • Photographs of your injuries
  • Accident or incident reports

Continue following your doctor’s treatment recommendations. Gaps in treatment may make it more difficult to document the extent of your injuries. 

Step 6: Preserve Evidence

Some of the most useful evidence may not be available to you directly. For example, surveillance footage, inspection records, maintenance logs, employee reports, and internal communications may provide information about the condition that caused your accident.

This evidence may not be kept indefinitely. Acting quickly can make it easier to identify and preserve records that may be important to your claim.
