How much money am I looking to receive from my personal injury lawsuit?
I fell one day on my way home from work, as I go to stepp off of the curb to cross the street I fell, lost consciousness, regained consciousness, transported to hosp by ambulance and treated. Left wrist bone broken (altogether I have 5 casts and surgery) I see a neurologist for the migraines I'm now experiencing and will verbs to see because the occipital nerves in the back of my go before are offset. My lawyer merely filed suit against the city, state and building owner (of the bldg that I fell in front of)
Any answers/experiences would be favourable, thanks!
Answers:
you are absolutely disgusting.
i hope you get seriously injured sooner or later.
thanks for clogging the court system with frivolous lawsuits, any surprise nobody wishes to invest in your country anymore?
From what you posted, near is no reason to think you'll go and get anything at all.
For someone else to be liable, they have to own been at fault. Just falling sour a curb doesn't make the city at fault, agree to alone the owner of the building the curb was in front of. What argument does the lawyer say he have for filing suit?
(It 'may' be that he's just hoping the insurers will choose to throw a couple of thousand dollars of "run away" money at you rather than fight)

I would recommend that you stop falling down. Why is that anyone's responsibility save for yours?
You won't grasp anything. Also, you're a bad person.
How would you approaching it if someone came to your front door and informed you that since a kid had fall off his bike in front of your house, you be liable for thousands of dollars of damages?
Since hundreds of people walk long-gone that curb without injuring themselves, the blame pretty obviously lies next to you. Pay for your own mistakes.
I'm not seeing any evidence of negligence on anyone's part except possibly yours. Merely proving you fell and got hurt is not enough. Someone else have to have done something or failed to do something. That may be the luggage here but you certainly haven't presented any facts indicating it. Source(s): 20+ years practicing law
I'm thinking you could possibly termination up with nothing. They own to prove that you fell because of something they caused. If you fell, just because of a mis-step, or you tripped over your own foot or som
I'm missing something here...
Why is it the city's, state's, (taxpayer's,) or the building owner's fault that YOU tripped off a curb and injured YOURSELF?
Your attorney is the only creature qualified to answer this question. Source(s): 30 years experience in civil litigation
Wow, I would suggest if this ever does go to court you do not behave the channel you have in your more details.
"You people really need to find a life and stop cruising boards looking for somebody to insult, f*****g haters!"
Why don't you stop looking for some free money and instead watch where on earth you are walking? I would rather be a hater then a money grubber.
Unless the 'damaged' curb crumbled away when you stepped on it, adjectives you have is a frivolous lawsuit. The city can then sue you for their trial fees when you lose.
But yeah then that will give you the opportunity to sue them for the heated damages their lawsuit causes you right.
Or better yet why don't you sue Yahoo for the excited damages some of the answers you didn't want to hear said?
Why don't you spend all day and dark typing questions then sue the businessman of your keyboard and computer for wrist damage?
I am really sorry you have had so much suffering due to your clumsiness and honestly feel bad for you until I read what you wrote to the people who give you their opinion. Source(s): Me..
What do want to hear? $10,000,0000? All that for just stepping off the curb? Unbelievable!!
The city have staff attorneys who know how to fight lawsuits such as yours. Do you really think that you enjoy a realistic chance of in the lead?
If you do, expect enough cover your medical expenses.
This question is strange to me.
You hold a lawyer. Your lawyer have presumably advised you and, pursuant to your instructions, initiated legal commotion.
And yet you're asking a group of random strangers on the internet what giving of result you should anticipate in your action.
The truth is that, even of the *handful* of those here who might be sufficiently experienced in PI law to peril a guess (not that many of them would be willing to), they'd probable need a lot more information to receive it a good guess.
But I'm concerned about your stratum of communication with your lawyer. Either he hasn't given you an answer to this interrogate (and he certainly should have at this stage, and if he hasn't, after you certainly should have asked by now), or you simply aren't contented with his answer.
It's important for the client to deduce what's going on in an action. While you other have to be sensitive to the cost of dealing with your legal representative - you call him up and ask him this question, and you're probably going to be paying $50 or more (potentially much more) for it - it doesn't do anyone any polite to be moving forward with litigation when the client doesn't have clear and satisfactory expectations of what results are likely.
ETA: The other responses are, to varying degrees, right to flag the cause of liability as a possible issue. However, I question why the assumption is that you "tripped". All I see is that you "fell", and I can't help but reason that there's some simple fact that's been omitted. (The credible three-letter word being "ice".) Where I come from, "slip-and-fall" is a litigation career choice.
