Falling on unshoveled sidewalk

I fell on a unshoveled, unsanded sidewalk in front of a large store. I know there was someone watching from their car who did not move to help me. No other witness. I went into the store asap ,told the mgr he better get someone to salt the walk. I showed him my clothes soaking wet from the fall, the red marks on my knee etc. he did not offer to call an ambulance, take my info or anything .I think I was in a little shock,as I didn't realize how many parts I had hurt; both ankles, knees ,wrists and one shoulder.I landed face down.. When I went back a week later, he finally took my info. I am in touch with an claims adjusor, havent sent the papers in yet.myold lawyer didnt want to touch this cause,luckily not broken bones, had xrays etc but bone bruises, bone painand still in pain 4 weeks later.do u think any lawyer would touch this or will I have to hardball it myself with them and what could I expect financially speaking? Not looking for millions but as i said to the mgr,it is a very senior population there,if it had been someone older.....guaranteed to have been worse.And yes, the mgr did send a guy out to sand the sidewalk after I told him about the fall and I showed the employee the impression on the ground where I had fell
