Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

You will have a very difficult time in making a claim. The store will argue that the hole was open and obvious and you should watch where you are going. But keep looking, there are several attorneys that may take your case, since the store is supposed to have a safe parking lot.

Your injuries are not serious enough for most attorneys to want to take your case. Go to small claims court.

You could have a case. I would argue that because of the place of the pothole (right by where drivers exit their vehicle) it qualifies as a "hidden hazard." The tricky thing about your case however is the injury part. I would need to know the following:

1) How much time went by between when you fell, and when you first went to the doctor?

2) What was the doctor's diagnosis?

3) What is your recommended treatment plan?

I do a large amount of premises liability cases all over the State of California every year. Don't worry about the open and obvious issue, there is a jury instruction that specifically states that a pedestrian does not have to constantly look at the ground while walking.
