Say you suffered a scratched knee or elbow ...
I can understand if the lot was in need of repair, and you tripped over broken concrete ... but what if you just stumbled over your own feet? Would you try to hold them responsible? What grounds would you have?

I agree! A good friend of mine owns a daycare and one of the mothers just tripped on smooth concrete. She skinned her elbow. They offered for her to come back in so they could help her with peroxide, a band aid, whatever ... she said she was fine and needed to get home to call her attorney. My friend is scared to death of losing her day care and all the kids she loves.

maybe not sue but they should pay for any medical expenses if their neglect caused the problem. if you know for a fact the several people have tripped over the same area and the business knows about the hazard and refuses to do anything about it yes you might have a case.
BUT
If you tripped over you own two feet the business could not have prevented that , you might think about suing your parents though. you probable inherited big feet or being clumsy from them. So they are more at fault then the business is especially if you are always tripping over things even when there is nothing there to trip over.

you are able to sue if the organisation omitted to do some thing alongside with fail to mark factors for parking. in the journey that your motor vehicle became damaged through fault of the organisation then they're to blame for fixing/replacing inspite of harm there is, until eventually you (because the motive force) reason some variety of difficulty which in turn brought in regards to the damage and tear. If it became on fault of yet another man or woman who got here about to be contained in the parking zone on the time or that works on the organisation then it falls on them and they are to blame for the damage and tear.

well, if you tripped over a broken concrete you can sue, however tripping on your own feet is not grounds for suing, its like you are saying i want money lets go trip and fall on that parking lot.

that's the problem nowadays. people like to sue others for their own mistakes. just like the fat twins that sued McDonald's. No I would not sue because whoever tripped is responsible for putting one foot in front of the other.

Morally you would have no grounds to sue. Unfortunately, some people would sue and could win the suit. No, I would never sue. Happened to me and i received 9 stitches in my foot. **** happens people should get over it.

no I wouldn't but my grandma did it happened a few years ago and she still hasn't seen any money.....I'm glad I told to her that because she's clumsy is stupid/wrong....she's tried similar lawsuits with various businesses in the past you would think she could take a hint and quit trying to rip people a new one

I would not try to hold them responsible unless they were. Be honest! If you tripped, you tripped. Would you want someone trying to hold you responsible if they tripped in your home???
Be honest!

Anyone who would do that is a sorry excuse for a human being.

I would NOT sue for my carelessness. Couldn't live with myself if I did that.
