I am so sorry to hear about your fall. I am not sure why other attorneys will not take your case given it has been 30 days since the accident. The only issue I could see is if you have not been actively seeking medical treatment therefore creating a long gap in treatment. Also, it's important to know if you have been speaking to anyone from this company or have signed anything that could potentially harm your case. Without knowing additional facts, I cannot accurately say why people are turning your case down. I practice personal injury law in Decatur and have handled a lot of similar slip and fall cases. First, you need to make sure that you get the medical attention you need to address the injury to your knee. See your regular doctor or medical provider, if you have one. If you do not medical insurance, an attorney may be able to help you see a doctor anyway. For example, I have relationships with several local doctors and have been able to arrange for my clients to obtain medical treatment at no cost to them. Knee injuries can be complicated and costly, so getting prompt medical attention should be your first priority. Second, I would encourage you to continue speaking with attorneys about your case. Any good personal injury attorney will be willing to have an initial meeting with you – for free. If proved to be negligent, this company may be willing to pay for any ongoing medical bills. You may also have claims for pain and suffering or lost wages if the injury has kept you out of work, or both. An experienced attorney will be able to tell you how to proceed to protect your rights. If you have any more questions, please call me at- 404-939-1485. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.
