- You should immediately notify the Police and make note of the Officer’s name and the Police case number.
- Track down your receipts or invoices for items that are damaged or stolen.
- If you have had a water damage claim, turn off the water source if possible. Remove damaged items from water if possible.

LIABILITY CLAIM
If someone is injured while attending at your business or is injured as a result of work you have done, you should immediately take notes which should consider the following.
- Did the person slip and fall? if so, what foot wear did they have on?
- Were they carrying anything at the time they fell?
- Who witnessed the fall?
- Was there anything or substance on the floor that contributed to the fall?
- What were the weather conditions?
- Were emergency services required?
- Did you talk to the person before or after the fall? What was said?
