Well vacationing at Epcot 2 weeks ago. I was at the larger pool. I used the ladder to step down. Under my right foot o felt something greasy. My leg gave away from slipping off the first step. My foot went barreling into the pool wall behind the ladder. There were no strips on the steps I later observed. This could prevent the slippage. Before I arrived at the pool there was another gentleman that also used that same ladder. He too slipped but did not get injured. Security came and called the paramedics. I was directed to a medical facility and through X-rays the radiologist reported that my big right toe is shattered. By putting me in a soft cast and told to stay off for 8 weeks. I’m a realtor and am losing opportunities to be with buyers and sellers.
You most likely have a case. The gentleman you spoke with could provide testimony that would establish negligence on the part of the resort. You should retain an attorney here in Orlando for contingency fee representation which means you pay nothing unless you win. Did you obtain the gentleman's contact information? It is important to retain counsel quickly so that a certified letter to preserve video evidence can be sent out before said evidence is erased.
