I was with him at the dealership when it happened, but inside. I was waiting for a salesman. Minutes before, we had gone outside to look at some cars in the lot, and I went ahead and went back inside, to wait for the salesman, as I said. I sat in a few cars, it must have been 5 minutes. Then everyone runs out of the showroom. Instinctively, I knew something happened. I ran out, he was being peeled off the concrete. He tripped and fell on a step, a platform, which was about four inches high, which went to an unmarked, glass side door. There was NO SIGN or indication that there was an increase in elevation of the ground. The platform/step was the same color concrete as the rest of the small walkway. He tripped, fell flat on his face. There was a LOT of blood. Blood all over the walkway, through the showroom, and in the bathroom, where I cleaned him up for nearly 20 minutes, until the ambulance came. I took him to the E.R. myself, filed a police report. We want to pursue legal action.
