Many of you have likely seen the video of a man faking a slip and fall at a business in New Jersey. This viral video is an extreme case, but it proves the importance of preserving evidence after a customer reports an incident at your business.

If a customer reports an injury at your business, preserving critical evidence can help to determine legitimate claims from non-legitimate claims. It can also protect the business against a claim of spoliation, meaning that the evidence was purposely destroyed.
I recommend the following checklist after a report of an injury at your business:
