I live in Georgia. I slipped and fell at a major hotel in Jan. of this year. The motel was under some renovations. The motel/contractor(?) had placed carpet remnants in front of some of the room doors to keep sawdust from being tracked in the rooms. A piece of this carpet was on a walkway/handicap(?) ramp when I went out to go eat. I did not use this ramp when I went to my room. I stepped on the remnant on the ramp and my feet flew out from under me. I landed on my lower back, right elbow, and hit my head on the concrete knocking me unconcious. The insurance adjuster has contacted me with a claim number and requested my medical records. I did not agree to give them to him. I am being treated by an orthopedic surgeon for shoulder AC joint injury, a urologist for a prolapsed bladder due to the fall, and a neurologist for post concussion symptoms. My questions are, what range of compensation should we ask for in settleing, and can I handle this claim myself or when should I consult an attorney.
