Hello, I fell out of a bench in a McDonald's restaurant 6 weeks ago and sustained a ruptured disk. McDonald's is denying the "incident" claim because they say they are not negligent. The bench was highly varnished and very slippery and when the manager wrote out the accident report he said to me and 3 other witnesses that "these benches can be kinda slippery and you have to be careful."
Can a statement like that help in my effort to prove negligence? Would this be verbal proof by the manager that he was "on notice" that the benches might cause an accident? I have talked to an Attorney who was all eager to "help" me out until McDonald's denied the claim. He has backed way off now saying that it will be hard to prove they were negligent. I was injured in a way from this accident that will cost me quite a bit of pain and lost wages and I was doing nothing that would have contributed to the accident. Do I seek out another Attorney or am I at the mercy of McDonald's and their slippery benches?
Thanks
