You can file a claim if you want to but doing so 6 months after the fall raises alot of questions about the validity of the claim. You can support your claim if you saw a doctor/hospital shortly after the fall and told your doctor/hospital that you had hurt yourself in a fall at McDonalds.

You have to hire an attorney, or she will get a default judgment entered against you. You could attempt to defend the case yourself, but that is not a good idea given the scope of the injury. If you have insurance, you should put your carrier on notice of the claim, and they will hire an attorney to defend you. If you are uninsured, you should contact a local attorney and ask them to represent you, and encourage them to try and settle the case for as little as possible because you have no insurance.  Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
