i leave the house this morning in a rush (big surprise, jeff is late) - so i hop in the car and drive off. about five minutes into the drive, i realize i left my cell phone. i pull the 'u-ee' and head back. no parking on the street, so i pull up on the curb. i take one step out of the car then... WHAMMMMO. i slip right away, with the door of my car still open. on my journey to the concrete, i smack my head on the side of my car, and break my fall with my hand (no glove).

headache, big bump on my head, swollen hand, great start to the morning fuck.

Way to go Jeff now you can have more mirgraines....

Hope you feel better babe

So if my car went backwards down a 1000 foot hill of ice this morning, does that count?

I HATE ROUTE 93 IN COLORADO! They don't salt or plow it and there are always 10-15 accidents along the same 20 mile stretch. I finally found a detour that takes me 20 mins longer but I'm alive at least!

Really, you're going to sue for that? Is this really worth the pain and aggravation of litigation? Can't you just admit that you're a clumsy asshat?

I didn't say he had to file a lawsuit at all....I suggested he pursue an injury claim with him automobile insurance company as is his right.

Besides, the claim would never go to litigation...the insurance company and the legal rep. would more then likely come to some agreement before it ever went to litigation.

ie. maybe u walked up the neighbour's driveway to cut across his grass to ur doorway, bc it was shorter than walking up the sidewalk to ur own driveway and then to ur door.

... but u slipped and fell on the neightbour's driveway.

you never should have been on his property in the first place in this case.

You would still have a right to file a lawsuit against your neighbour....even if you were not suppose to be on the property...wether you win the lawsuit or not is another thing.

Property owners have a responsibility to anyone who enters the property wether invited or not. You are not allowed to have hidden hazards that could cause injury to people who enter the property. In order to win any lawsuit the property owner would have to been negligent and that negligence would have to be the cause of the injury. If the property owner did something they shouldn't have done or failed to do something they should have done to prevent the incident from happening then they could be held liable for the injuries. For example....if the neighbour was pouring buckets of water down the driveway and caused it to be an ice ramp...more then likely they would be considered negligent if someone fell while trying to walk on the driveway.

Agreed, it does suck.

I fell through the ice at the confluence of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. It was damn cold, hard to get out and I ended up smelling like crap (the water was muddy) and my clothes turned to ice the moment I stepped on to the shore.

Walked outside on my way to work.

Noticed it was freezing rain.

Thought to myself "Heh, and I was just reading that thread on TA about..."

... and promptly wiped out clean onto my ass.

Car horn honked at me.

I went back inside. Fuck.

I didn't know that if you fell and hurt yourself getting out of your own car you could file a claim.

That is wonderful information to know. Love it!

I've got a claim right now where the insured was opening his car door and two dogs attacked him from behind. His injury claim is going through the car insurance because he was opening his door and that is considered normal use and operation....doesn't matter that the dogs had nothing to do with the car at all.....stupid loop hole.

Unfortunately, land mines tend to make people go boom.....the good news is they probably won't live so they won't be able to sue you.

I think that I am going to fall today.
