My Mother Fell and broke her shoulder
My mother is 74 yr old, lives in a apartment complex, was walking to get her mail when a dog barked at her, she backed up slipped on some mud and fell. She ended up in the hospital with a broken shoulder. With this set back she will need to move in with me in Nebraska, she will also need alot of medical provisions. What would be our recorse, could we sue the apt complex?

Re: My Mother Fell and broke her shoulder
All cases of this nature are based on negligence. That is, was it negligence on the part of the apartment complex that led to your mother's accident? Was the mud ON the sidewalk or BESIDE the sidewalk? In either case, it is doubtful that the apartment complex would be found liable in this case.
