You can certainly go back to the Post Office to report your fall. The longer you delay the less credible your claim becomes. If you are considering legal action against the Post Office you might want to take photographs of the condition which you claim caused you to fall. And keep in mind that claims against the U.S. Post Office must be filed within two (2) years of the date of incident. An experienced personal injury lawyer should be able to help you file one.
