Expert Advice When You Need It Most

What am I to do to get them to pay for my medical bills and is it necessary to sue?

I recently fell at a local Safeway. The water came from their broken ice machine and there were no caution signs present. I filed a report there and was told I'd be contacted by their offices some time this week. I have doctor's appointment scheduled for this coming Wednesday, but not sure how to go about the process of having them pay for my bills. Or do I have to pay for my bills? I'm not very sure with how this works.

It may not be to your advantage to talk to their insurance adjuster even if he or she calls. Sometimes, they only ask questions designed to minimize your claim or provide a defense to your claim for them to justify denying your claim.

The real question is: how badly are you hurt. Whether you need an attorney to help you on this pretty much depends on how much you are injured and other factors as well.
