I slipped and fell on ice in a parking lot at the time it was raining. I filed a accident report with the owners of the parking lot. My personal insurance has already notified me of non payment for two trips to the emergency room due to the accident. What is my next step? Do I contact the owner of the parking lot for insurance info from them do I wait for them to contact me? I'm at a lost as to the next step.

You most certainly can contact the owners of the parking lot for the insurance information. However, what this does not address is whether you have a valid claim against them and therefore, entitled to have anything paid (including medical bills). I suggest you contact an experienced personal injury attorney in your area and give them the details of the accident so that he or she can determine the liability on this matter.
