What State are you in?

With the facts as represented, you probably are entitled to be reimbursed for pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost earnings. They will also be liable for any damages attributable to aggravating your preexisting medical condition.

They will probably try to reduce by the % of your comparative negligence. They may assert that you weren't watching where you were walking, and/or that you were wearing "slippery" shoes.

You should schedule a formal consultation with a* lawyer.* A good means of obtaining an attorney referral is by contacting your State's bar association or your local county bar association.*** They probably have a web site and
charge a nominal fee for the referral.* Most attorneys either provide a free initial consultation, or charge a nominal fee.

Make an appointment with an attorney in your area. There should be little or no charge for the consultation. This type of case is usually handled on a contingency basis.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein

This is so weird, My name is Kym too, and I was injured in a slip and fall. Seeing your name and your subject forced me to immediately investigate. Now that I know for sure I'm not in the "Bermuda Triangle" {after reading your incident). I can wish you good luck with your case and lots of extra strength vicotin for your pain!!!
