ugggggh.
so i make it through to the month of march without the dreaded wipe out on ice - but today, i took a HARD tumble...... which really shouldn't have happened - but due to me being an idiot, it did.
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 . |

I was going to say - if it wasn't your property I'd file an injury claim.
Hope you are ok. |

Really? I always thought that law was a bit much. I can see if its excessive, but suing just because you slipped on some ice? When does somebody become responsible for their own balance?
I know why the law is in place, but still... |

It's a simple tort claim: property owner not taking "duty of care" to clear snow and ice. Snow/ice caused me to fall and injure myself. The injury caused financial and physical damages. I sue to recover damages.
This is a good reason why everybody should carry a personal liability policy. One never knows when someone litigious person is going to try and recover damages (caused by who knows what). |
