What is the name of your state? South Dakota
I recently fell down stairs in a local haunted house. The stairs were unmarked and unlit since most haunted houses are very dark inside. After x-rays it was found that I badly sprained my rt ankle and knee. There are no medical costs since the military took care of the treatment. Do I have a case against the haunted house. I understand that a certain amount of risk is involved as to bumping around in the dark and stumbling from time to time but stairs leading down without any warning seems to be on the negligent side. One local injury attorney told me that I wouldn't have much of a claim and recommended small claims court but how much do I ask for? I'm not expecting to become a millionare but I do think I should be compensated for having to use crutches and leg splits for the next 3-4 weeks. Any advise out there?
