Legal Question in Personal Injury in Canada
Broken bones
I fell in a major grocery stor and broke my radius in my right arm. Had surgery with pins to hold wrist together so it would heal properly. Pins are now removed.After 18 months of pain I had surgery to repair the rotator cuff. I now have constant pain in this upper arm. What kind of compensation should I be looking at?

Re: Broken bones
It depends to a considerable extent on the Province, your occupation and earnings, your age, the actual circumstnces of the fall, cleaning records/logs of the store, your physicians' records and formal written opinions (for which they are entitled to charge a substantial fee) and a number of other factors. A matter such as this is too complex for LawGuru because LawGuru is a place to obtain summary advice. If this occurred n British Columbia, we can assist you, adn provide an initial consultationan at no cost. Simply look us up at www.lawvictoria.com and use the phone number you find there (LawGuru will not allow phone numbers in answers).
Re: Broken bones
Sorry to hear about your injury. Do you know what exactly in the grocery store made you fall? Was the floor wet or did you slip on something? You must prove that the store did something wrong or failed to do something right in order for you to obtain compensation for your damages. Where in Canada do you live?
