In August of 2007, I was injured a bank from a faulty door. When I opened their door to go in, the door swung open really fast and I stopped it from hitting my daughter. I was wearing sandals and the bottom corner of the door went into my toe and pushed the bone into the cartilage. I have had problems with it since and my foot doctor told me I have permanent damage and will always have troubles with it. The banks insurance company paid my doctor bills, but can I sue them for pain and suffering? I can't even go for long walks. It's hard to work when I'm standing cuz of the pain
Yes you can sue the bank (only a few states will allow you to sue the insurance company directly). How was the door "faulty". I don't see it opening "really fast" as a fault. This would have more to do with how the person opens the door.
What did the banks insurance carrier say regarding a pain and suffering claim? Have they formally or in anyway denied it? They paid your medical bills under the med pay coverage I understand that..and there does not have to be any negligence for that coverage to pay. So what has been their stance regarding the liability? apparently they have denied it? _________________ **************************************

The door was broke and they didn't have rubber strips at the bottom of the door. They do now. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

Ya know,...I thought if a 'major' business had a problem like this, the issue would have to be solved right away. I'm just looking at this as a Safety issue for customers....ya know?
The door was broke and they didn't have rubber strips at the bottom of the door. They do now.

I'm wondering, MISCHA....did you happen to take pictures, of the bank, WITHOUT the rubber strips there? I guess when you're in the middle of the situation, you don't think about it. However.........a picture says a thousand words.
THAT is where cell phone pics come in real handy don't even know if you can get one anymore WITHOUT a camera...makes it much easier to capture things before they 'disappear' _________________ **************************************
