Indeed. The action would be to recover non-reimbursed costs and for the ankle fracture itself.

Re: Possible Law Suit against Wal-Mart?

You will probably have to if your boyfriends wants Wal-mart to cover his damages. Keep in mind that snow and ice cases are notriously tough to win and are not a "sure thing" regardless of injury. That being said, your boyfriend's chances of recovery without suing wal-mart is probably close to zero.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699.

Re: Possible Law Suit against Wal-Mart?

You certainly have legal rights. In these types of cases the liability or fault of Walmart will rest on the question of how long the ice was there prior to your boyfriend's injury. It must be shown that the ice existed for a long enough time prior to his accident that Walmart had enough time to clear the ice and that their failure to do so was the cause of his accident.

If you'd like a free consultation please call me at (877)692-5291 at your earliest convenience.

Re: Possible Law Suit against Wal-Mart?

Yes, you can take legal action against Wal-Mart. You or your attorney can file a negligence action against Wal-Mart claiming they allowed a dangerous condition to exist in the parking lot. You will have to show that they knew or should have known the condition existed and that they failed to correct the condition.

Re: Possible Law Suit against Wal-Mart?

I hope his ankle heals fully. You never know with joints. I wish him good luck in his recovery.

Regarding your question;

(1) suing for the ambulance is justified and you are likely to recover the full amount.

(2) suing for the medical costs is justified and there is an excellent chance of recovery

(3) suing for the injury is justified. Whether you win or lose will depend on the skill of you lawyer and whether the last snowfall was at least 24 hours earlier. The closer in time of the last snowfall to the fall, the less likely you are to win.

(4) compensation for lost time at work, etc depends on the same factors as number #3.

I hope I have been helpful
