Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts
A toothpick and two surgerys later...
Premises Liability? I was hurt at a
friends home back in March of 06'
and had to have surgery twice. I
stepped on a toothpick that was
on the rug in his kitchen, and it
was so embedded that a catscan
couldn't even find it! Anyway, it
was a toothpick that he had used
earlier in the evening to eat from
and it ended up on the floor. I do
martial arts and was unable to
train for a couple of months and
the more I hear this person say
how much money he's worth and
what he'll recieve for a settlement
from his job if he's fired, is
maddening to me. I am wondering
if something called Premises
Liability would pertaing to me and
what happened in this persons
home, which is none too clean.
Thank You!

I concur with what Attorney Lebensbaum has said. In that regard however, a lot may depend on when and how the toothpick ended up on the floor.

If you want to file an action or make a demand, then you have the opportunity.
However, usually this means the friendship is over.
