Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

Re: knife injury due to walmart negligence

Without more it is difficult to assess the issue of negligence on the part of the employee of WalMart. I will be happy to discuss this issue as well as the issue of signing the requested documentation, if you will call 770-607-5300.

I cannot advise you on whether to sign the release without looking at it. However, if it is simply a consent to obtain your medical records, it might be OK, but if it was any language releasing any claims, definitely don't sign it. I would have an attorney look at anything before you sign it. If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. Thank you.

Re: knife injury due to walmart negligence

You already made a bad decision. Never talk to a retailer in such a case. What you have already said and done could have compromised a claim you have, if you have one.

Always see a lawyer first. Obviously don't sign anything or provide any records without that step.

I can't say that you do or don't have a claim that a lawyer can help with without a lot more information, but talking to the business first is always the wrong step. The only communication should have been to have documented the injury at the scene.
