What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CT
I stopped to get gas on my way to an evening movie, hopped out of my car, walked toward the building and... THWAP! Down to the ground I went. There was a patch of black ice caused by a leaky overhang above the pumps. Needless to say, I was a little shaken... and a bit angry. How hard is it to through some salt down, right? I went inside, everyone asked if I was okay. The owner immediately went outside to spread some salt on the area. Had I been an elderly person, they would have had a broken hip on their hands.
My question is simple- should I sue for pain and suffering (nothing is broken, I'm just sore from my neck down to my toes, and my left arm hurts)? I'm going to a doctor tomorrow- as luck would have it, I've had an appointment scheduled for weeks for a checkup. Should anything be determined to be injured/fractured etc... I will definitely pursue something. But what if it's all just bumps and bruises? What does one do in that case?
