Re: slip and fall

Amazing how citizens consider "legal" as though one can't do it..but this sounds like retaliation for making a work comp claim and if proven, could get the worker damages...so if you win it Court it is not "legal"...but if you were hurt at work or if the school had you working you probably had a work comp claim. Has their insurer contacted you?how badly were you hurt?
