Kenockee, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

Yes, slip-and-fall victims do often collect. Since the injuries from this kind of accident are usually not great, they won't make the victim or the lawyer rich, and some lawyers will not take relatively small cases. Good Luck.

Luckily the other driver was not hurt. His insurance will cover his own truck presumably from uninsured motorist coverage. The insurance company will likely come after you for reimbursement for what is known as subrogation. They know that people in your position have no money, but they will pressure you to pay or make a payment plan. You may want to hire an attorney to help negotiate for you as they are better equipped to say the right things to keep the overall amount as low as possible. You can discharge the entire debt if you file for bankruptcy. You may have other issues with DMV for driving without insurance and expired tags. Hopefully you have health insurance for your own injuries.

I know of no law that would prevent a store employee from discussing communications of a customer with other customers. There are laws that prohibit doctors from disseminating patient's medical information and lawyers from disseminating client information. However, I know of no laws that would prohibit stores from disseminating shopping information (short of personal information such as credit card and account numbers). In fact, the communication may be protected by the 1st amendment (freedom of speech). If the person who disseminated the information was not the boss or owner, perhaps you should complain to the individual's boss.
