What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OHIO
Earlier today me and a friend of mine were changing the brakes on my car, and i had it jacked up using the jack provided with the car, i had just got the tire off and the jack buckled causing the rotor and the brake caliper to fall and crush my foot. It was wedged in there for a good 10 mins before we could get it off (it hurt more than anything ive ever felt). After about 10 mins of me screaming in pain we tried to put the car in neutral and roll it off (also hurt like a lot). That worked and i finally called an ambulance to take me to the ER. My foot isn't broken, but its severely swollen and bruised up bad meaning ill have to miss work an lose a lot of pay, at least $500 or $600, while sitting at home for a few weeks (2 or 3) for it to heal. I'm seriously considering calling one of the personal injury lawyers you see on TV and suing Dodge for the jack not working properly and buckling on me. What do you guys think?
