Hotel Woes

I was at a large hotel chain over the weekend. I had a car accident in November and just finished 2 months of physical therapy. While in my hotel room I tripped on a thing sticking out of the side of the bed and reinjured/aggravated my back injury. I spoke with the claims representative today and he said that he determined that i didnt have a claim because I didnt seek medical attention right on the spot. I go to the doctor once a week and had taken medication for my back that morning. I am in more pain this week because of the jerking motion that was caused by the trip and fall. He offered to pay medical co-pays but I have none because i am already being seen for my back and have wonderful insurance. he offerd $250 and to sign off on the injury, when I mentioned seeking legal counsel he offerred $500. What do you think I know I have a case but how much of a case!!!

The first thing you should have done was to report the incident to the hotel staff so they know that something like that transpired. Then, you should have seen the hotel doctor or nurse to have you examined. You know it's kinda hard to attribute entirely your back pain with the incident since you are currently under treatment for such. You should seek the help of a trip and fall lawyer to know your legal options.
