So today at lunch at work i was walking out to my S and the parking lot is still icy. I slipped and fell on my tailbone. it really hurts now. Should i press charges aginst the building?

 

Did you break something or are just sore? I assume you mean sue them for personal gain. If you slipped and fell and got a boo boo then move on... Please refrain from driving up my premiums.

 

im going to get xrayed tomorrow. Doctor says i should have it checked out.

 

 

Probably just a bruised bone. They can take a while to heal, and no, you shouldn't sue.

 

make them buy you one of those donuts to sit on

 

I knew a co-worker that sued Circuit city a while back. He must of made out because he had a C5 and a 63 vette as well in the garage.

Personally I would of just chalked it up to the damn weather in NE but its just nuts lately of the cases you hear.

Nothing against you S2k11, especially if you got hurt seriously but in general I think its getting out of hand.

 

have you ever been involved in a lawsuit? I have and I really have no desire to do it again regardless of which side I'm on. I say no.

 

Natural accumulations of snow and ice are not always actionable. The old rule was that you could not recover for injury due to a natural accumulation of snow and ice. Now, in some jurisdictions, the courts will find an obligation to clear snow and ice and will find liability where the property owner or business does not meet the requirements to use reasonable steps to keep walkways clear.

Many times the owner's failure to mee the proper standard is a question of fact. The existence of ice in the driveway alone is not enough to prove liability.

 

well there is no walkway and it is busy. you are forced to walk on ice. I will only movee forward if it is broken. It would be for medical.
