Re: fall at fast food restaurant
You were in a slip-and-fall accident at a restaurant, which is a typical tort injury. Have you sustained any damage or harm? You think you injured your shoulder, but is it serious enough to require medical attention?
If you have a medical bill from a doctor to check out your shoulder, then more than likely the restaurant will agree to pay that bill for you. If it looks like there is a more serious injury, then a personal injury lawyer in your area would take your case on a contingency fee basis, which means you would probably not have to pay an upfront fee.
First step, go to a doctor if necessary and get your shoulder checked. Then present the bill to the restaurant manager, and see if he arranges for you to get reimbursed. It woudl not hurt to talk to a personal injury lawyer, but they probably won't want this case unless you have actual injuries that will require more than a doctor's office visit to treat.
