I live in Michigan. I wasn't sure if this should go in the "Accidents" forum, or the "Insurance/Homeowners" area.
A friend's mom has cancer and is recovering from chemo, etc. She's quite weak and unsteady and all she has is a cane to help her get around. She lives with her daughter (my friend).
I have an extra walker at my house that has never been used, that was my mother-in-law's. My MIL told me I could let her borrow it, but she doesn't want to sell it as she thinks she might be able to use it again someday. It's adjustable and is the kind with the wheels on the front, and no wheels on the back legs. If I let my friend (actually her mother) borrow it and her mom falls or something while using it, can I then be sued?
I'd like to help my friend but am paranoid in today's litigious society.
