What If the Hazard Was Cleaned Up or Repaired After My Fall?

A claim is not automatically over because the condition is gone. Evidence at a property can disappear quickly. A wet floor gets cleaned, snow melts, ice changes, surveillance footage may be overwritten, and damaged equipment can be repaired.

Even once the hazard itself is gone, an incident report, witness accounts, inspection logs, maintenance records, and employee testimony may still describe what the area looked like. Reporting the incident and asking whether an incident report was created helps preserve that record.
