With fall right on our doorsteps, we encourage everyone to never take “falling” too literally! Slip-and-fall accidents happen in the blink of an eye and are extremely common. They can result from tripping on a poorly maintained sidewalk or slipping in spilled milk in the grocery store. While these incidents may sometimes seem minor, they can result in some serious injuries, hefty medical bills, and lost wages — all challenging situations. In the event you or a loved one has a slip-and-fall accident, here are three essential steps to take to protect your rights and seek compensation! 1. Seek medical attention. After a slip-and-fall incident, your health must come first. Even if you aren’t seriously injured or in pain, it’s important to have yourself checked out; some injuries, such as soft tissue damage or internal trauma, don’t exhibit signs until later. Your medical examination will also create helpful documentation for building your case down the road. SLIP-AND-FALL ACC WHAT TO DO AND H SEEK COMPENSATI
Nobody wants to live in a messy home, but staying organized is often easier said than done, especially when you have kids. Spending weekend after weekend cleaning up messes made throughout the week can get exhausting. Thankfully, you can implement some quick organizational hacks that will help you reduce your cleaning time. Make use of Command Strips. Many areas in our homes could better utilize space. Command Strips, or double-sided tape, can add more space and reduce clutter in closets and pantries. Place Command Strips on a desktop file holder and stick it to the inside of your closet or pantry door. This will give you a new area where you can store just about anything that will fit. If you have a standing paper towel holder, another helpful Command Strip hack is to place the strips on the bottom so it doesn’t slide away when you use it. It only takes a couple of seconds to fix. Create a welcoming entryway. When people walk into your house, they need somewhere to hang their coats. After you walk your dog, you need a place to put their leash. Having an area by your door to hang things will help reduce clutter and make your house look nicer. And you can easily create a space for this. Buy a 12–24-inch picture ledge and a handful of hooks. Drill holes, affix the ledge to your wall, and screw the hooks into the bottom of the shelf. Now you have somewhere to hang things and display pictures or art to spruce up your entryway. Free up your kitchen cabinets. If you keep your bowls, plates, and other dishes in a cabinet, how do you have them organized? If you want to make the most of your space, invest in a plate organizer. Placing it in your cabinet will allow you to stack your different types of dishes in one area, freeing up space for other items. Why Lose Weekends Cleaning? Implement These Hacks for a Tidier Home!
