Good morning, last Wednesday my mom went to the Pathmark supermarket with my brother who stayed in the car. At the deli, she slipped & fell. Management came rushing out with all kinds of forms, but since they didn't see blood no medical attention was needed. I guess my mom was a little embarassed too & just wanted to leave. Since then her knee has been in a lot of pain. She can't go to her primary physician at the free clinic, because you have to have an appointment & that can take many weeks. She's been using Ben-Gay & a cold pack, but she's having difficulty walking & is limping. We're wondering if there's any action she can or should take? Thanks in advance.

How did the accident happen - was the floor wet/did she fall over something? What forms did management bring out -did your mom sign them? She might have signed away her right to sue & signed that she had no injuries. I doubt if she would have a case against the store anyway though I don't have full details. Is there another walk-in free clinic or hosp. ER she can go to for treatment? Will her primary dr. see her on an "emergency" basis?
