Fall

I fell at a store on some syrup that got left in the isle. My knee was injuried and the emergency room doc gave me a brace and crutches and told me to wear it for at least 4 days and consult a orthopedic. This is affecting my christmas because i can't get around to easy. What should i do before the store calls back on wed.? What should i say to them?

Re: Fall

If you anticipate that you may have any sort of lingering injury, then you probably want to consult with an attorney to discuss this in more detail first. If not, then giving a statement (recorded or not) is not uncommon, and the most important thing would be to be truthful and do not guess; it may be wise, however, to discuss the issues that may arise with an attorney before speaking with the store. Whether you ultimately have a claim depends on a lot of factors.
