Depending on how you injured your foot, you may have a viable personal injury claim. I would be interested in learning how you fractured your toes while shopping. If you have a claim, your medical bills are only part of what you would seek to collect for. You could also seek monetary damges for the pain and loss of function related to the injury, and any lost wages you incur. It is very difficult for a layperson to get a company like Home Depot to take responsibility for an accident. You should seek representation because a lawyer who can attempt to resolve a claim with the store, or file a suit if Home Depot continues to disclaim responsibility or ignore you.  Attorneys who represent clients for injures (like me) offer free initial consultations and take cases on a contingency basis, so most of the time you only have to pay them if you prevail.  Click here and here for more information about me.

The injured worker should consult with a lawyer.... Read More

Negligence claims in Michigan are based on some one being negligent. If you could prove the homeowner was somehow negligent in causing the injury to your son, then you could make a claim against them. However, if some bigger child decided to do what you mention, it is difficult to see how the homeowner would have known same would happen and somehow been able to prevent the incident. It is likely that your claim is directly against the attacker, but some problems will be whether there is homeowners insurance that covers him and/or if his actions are excludable from coverage. You really should consult local Michigan counsel that regularly handles assault, negligence, premises and/or homeowner insurance claims for a more detailed analysis.... Read More

You may have a medical malpractice case against the doctor, or a products liability case against the manufacturer of the implant. The big question will be whether the case is financially viable. If the second surgery corrects the problem, then you probably do not have a financially viable malpractice case.  If you want to investigate a malpractice case, you should contact a local medical malpractice attorney (one in your state).  They take these cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are usually free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research medical malpractice attorneys.  Then, visit each attorney's website and look for a firm that has a record of successful verdicts,  ideally with experience in cases that involve your medical issue.

I would certainly file a complaint with the Department of Consumer Affairs.   I don't know if there is any compensable injury.  If you had to have the bed bug bites treated, or needed to have your clothing or suitcase treated or replaced, then I would start with submitting that to the hotel, and if they don't respond, file a complaint in small claims court. ...
