|
|
I stepped into what eventually determined as melted ice cream. Did not fall but leg twisted and reinjured knee which eventually turned into 7 months therapy, eventually knee surgergy and removal of loose piece of bone. Also had to cancel 55 wedding anniversary scheduled out of town. Attorney now says 2 years later that the manager says they had just check the area. There were overhead camera which he says they have no tape and no sheets to show floor checks. This is a Drug Store which sells ice cream in the front of the store. I contend they should have some procedures in place because this could happen frequently. My attorney didn't want to dispose the two men involved. He is discouraging me from going to trial. I am 74 years old and retired and have a lot of medical history. However, Iwalked into the store, but was carried out on a stretcher and ambulance to the hospital. The key question seems to be "reasonable time" for cleanup. This has been ongoing for two years. I have be disposed and they made an offer of $10,000 which included my medical bills. They are approximately 7k by using my medicare and secondary insurance. This means $7K for the bills, 40% to the lawyer and nothing for my pain and suffering for over a year. Any comments

Yes, see my sig
1) Discuss with your attorney or
2) Get another attorney.... but be prepared to still pay this one and also pay the next one.
I'm not sure what you are looking for. You have legal counsel that is far more familiar with the case then anyone else. |

i had stripped and waxed a floor for one of my accounts which i have been doing for a number of years and NEVER encountered any type of slipage due to any of my floor refinishings. Two days later someone slips and falls, inuring themselves. They are claiming neglagence on my part. If that doesn't sound crazy enough the same victim tried to sue me before for the same accident and the case was droped. Now I can't afford an attorney and I could use some guidence as to what to do for my situation.

If this is an actual suit I'm guessing the store was named as well.
If you have insurance, report the claim to them (or let them know about this suit). If you have no insurance then you will need to provide your own defense. I'd highly recommend hiring an attorney. You don't want to go into default. |
