Can I sue safeway FOR 10,000 FOR A FALL
Anonymous1 views2 answers
On the 6th of July, I was in safeway buying groceries with my mom. So as we got done
checking out we were leaving. She walked in front of me and I was following her and then
I slipped on a rug which had a big puddle of water under it. It was by a ice machine which
happends to be right near the walk way to exit the store. There wasn't a CAUTION WET FLOOR sign there.
They put thee sign there after I already fell! Everytime I return to the store the sign still is never there.
I only go to that store because its the closest one. So as one of the managers helped me up my righ side of my body
was in pain. I had landed on my hip and my back. I went to the hospital like a day after and the nurse checked me and
told me I have bruising in my back If i would have hit more harder then I would have broke my hip. Since months have
passed I still have the pain. I tried all tyes of pain killers hot and cold packs and nothing works. I cant lay on my
back I cannot sit or stand for a long period of time without having to reposition my self. If you berly touch my back it
hurts really bad. What can i do? By the way they told my mom all they can give me is a safeway gift card.when we filed a report
it took them weeks just to tell us that were getting a gift card
You definitely have a personal injury case. You need to find a personal injury attorney in your area to take case on a contingency. You can look for one on .

The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change.

I've actually been at the Safeway in Menlo Park at which you fell (not that it's relevant to this response). You definitely have a personal injury case to pursue. You should not agree to settle with the gift card. However, you should also not set your expectations too high. Moreover, in a personal injury case, the plaintiff is prohibited from indicating the amount of damages sought in the complaint. In any event, even assuming liability is admitted, the value of the case depends largely upon the extent of injuries, the medical bills incurred, whether or not the injuries are permanent, and whether you sustained loss wages as a result of the incident. I recommend that you retain a personal injury attorney in your area to pursue this claim.
