My mom has a slipped disk in her back. Before recently
it was just numb on her lower back and down the right
(I think) leg. When I was visiting her for a week in
TX last week, I, who never fall, fell twice on the
sidewalks of the apartment complex she lives in. My
husband stumbled once, and my mom fell once. Now her
back hurts rather than being numb. I'm telling her
she could sue and should get herself a lawyer. This
is because the bricks in the sidewalk are all screwed
up all over that complex! Some of them are raised up
while others are sunken in and there are also small
gaps. Perfect for tripping one up especially at night
when she's coming home from work. She lives about
half an hour from Huston and I'm asking for a good
reference for her for some good legal advice on the
subject. Of course I'd need a lawyer who would
specialize in such things. Thanks a million in
advance!

first thing make an incident report to the owner from all 3 falls. then contact a lawyer, if the owner fails to correct the situation the you can sue for right now his insurance should pay for your mothers medical bills.
