What is the name of your state? Utah
I was seriously injured this week during an activity with other tenants in an apartment complex. Peole were all running around in the grass field that is in the middle of the complex, and when I ran in to enter the fun up close, I stepped on a piece of shattered glass while running. I got 20 stitches in the ER, and the slash was very deep. My foot was moving forward when it found the glass, as i was literally running, and the cut was ~1.5ish inches at the top, and there still might be infections and other complications later.
People had been there in the field throughout the day, barefoot and not, so there is no way that I should have assumed there would be any hazard other than that inherent to fields (dips, dampness, etc).
Is the apartment complex liable? I have not spoken to the complex management yet, nor any attorneys. This is my first time living in an apartment, and my first major, serious injury. What am I entitled to, and what should I do next?
Thanks in advance to all!
