Asked on Feb 15th, 2014 on Personal Injury - Rhode Island
More details to this question:
I fell because the bus driver stopped to close to a snow pile, I told him it was to high for me and he didn't want to move the bus to a better spot. Instead he offered me his hand and made me jump the snow and when I jumped in I slip and fell and hurt my shin. The bus driver didn't do anything about it I asked him to call somewhere because my shin hurt a lot and I couldn't even walk and I lost 2 days of work, that happened 2 days ago the pain don't go away so I want to see a doctor but I can't afford the clinic bills plus it wasn't my fault I fell.

You should be able to file for no-fault, but beyond that, it may not be worth pursuing.

You should see a lawyer ASAP. There is a six-month claim-filing requirement.

You very well may have a case, but I am concerned that your injuries are not severe enough to warrant pursuit of the claim. You do need to get to a Dr asap to find out what is wrong and how serious it is. There are plenty of places you can go to that will either work with you on payments or give you free care. You may want to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer. Good luck.
