Legal Question in Personal Injury in Ohio
No warning of step to dance floor, resulted in dislocated shoulder
I obtained a dislocated arm from the shoulder socket from a fall as a result of no lighting, reflective tape, or sign in a night club warning of a ''step up'' to a dance floor. I was walking to the dance floor and all of a sudden the floor had a step in it with no warning. We have contacted the owner, however our concerns have fallen on deaf ears. I can tell you the owner has since put lighting around the dance floor. Can I sue for medical?

A business owner owes a duty to you as an invitee to provide a reasonable safe premises. If it can be proven that the club owner fail to honor his duty to keep the club in a safe condition, or to warn you of a potentially hazardous condition, then you can recover your medical expenses and your pain and suffering caused by the injury to your shoulder.

Re: No warning of step to dance floor, resulted in dislocated shoulder
As a business invitee, the owner of the club owed you a duty to provide a reasonable safe premises for all customers and it sounds like there was an unsafe condition that would probably establish negligence on his behalf. If it can be proven that he was negligent then you can recover your medical expenses as well as an amount for your pain and suffering caused by the injury to your shoulder. You should consult with an attorney that handles premises liability cases in your town. Good luck.

You absolutely do have a case and you definitely need a lawyer who will charge a contingency fee -that is nothing from you upfront, but the lawyer gets a portion of what you receive.
