What is the name of your state? NY
i work at a local pizzeria, and every monday morning a (tractor trailer) delivery truck arrives with our stuff for the week, every monday a coworker and i unload this truck, we unload it from the ground, as the driver unloads it from the truck (he brings items to the end of the truck and we take them inside) well in these particular trucks, the loads, and pallets are seperated by these long divider bars made of heavy steel, one of these bars weighs about 30 lbs. and is approx 10 ft long, while we were unloading the truck this morning, the driver took the divider bar and placed it so it was vertically resting against the inside wall of the trailer and only a few feet from the back of the truck, now as the driver was maneuvering a pallet jack inside the trailer, i turned around and was looking the other way, and the driver knocked the divider bar over, causing it to fall out of the truck and strike me in the head, i got a laceration on the top of my head as well as a concussion, the doctors dont how bad it is yet, but i took a cat scan today and will go over the results with the doctor tomorrow,my questions are:
1: who should i sue, the drivers company, my work, both?
2: how serious is this case?
3:what kind of settlement am i entitled to? how do i figure what is fair compensation?
