Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

personal injury

I fell down in oct of 2006 and ended up with a fracture/chipped Talus bone in my ankle. Cast for 5 weeks and out of work --still today. It is my understanding that the landlord of the rental property DOES NOT have any insurance. Therefore, I cannot retain anyone to help me any further. I walk with a limp now, will probably always be a disability for me. It just does not seem fair or just at all that a property owner ends up ''better off'' to NOT have any insurance coverage in this situation. YET, she sits back and collects rental income every month; while I have to live with what happened to me due to a VERY poorly maintained step, railing and sidwalk area. How can this be so NOT WORTH be represented?

Re: personal injury

How do you know the LL doesn't have insurance? Has an attorney taken this matter subject to investigation only to later reject it? Obviously, the landlord has assets - the property. If there is no insurance, there will likely be no settlement, but this doesn't mean you can't win in court.
