Legal Question in Personal Injury in Nevada

I think you would have a very difficult time holding someone else responsible for your negligence in dropping something on your own foot. Who are you going to sue? The tenant who left his stuff behind and probably has disappeared completely (and probably got evicted because he could not even pay his rent)? The landlord who directed you to dispose of the junk, when it should have been his responsibility? While he probably was wrong to dump that duty on you, I believe you would have a hard time saying it was his fault you got hurt. Presumably, you could have refused to pick the thing up and assumed the risk of doing so when you moved it. Also, it may be presumed that you were to benefit from the property that the landlord (perhaps inappropriately) gave to you to dispose of.

Accidents sometimes happen, and we cannot always blame them on somebody else. I hope you had health insurance or otherwise got (and continue to get) good care for your injury. Your chances of getting someone else to pay the costs, though, seems pretty slim.
