I took a nasty fall in March of 2009 which required me to have surgery on my hand twice. I am losing use of my hand. I cannot find anyone to take my case because it happened in the parking lot and not by their door. When I went in, there was no ice on the ground, but there was some when I came out and hit a patch of ice that turned to water. Everyone I talked to says that "the laws have changed and you should watch for ice in a parking lot". But I was parked in handicap. After that fall, I lost pretty much everything I had and became unemployed. Can you help me to at least get my doctor's bills paid and get the balance I owed on the van paid or some kind of compensation?
I think you are too late. The statute of limitations is two years from the date of the incident and your claim lapsed this past March. You might contact the insurer for the property owner to see if there is a med-pay provision that is still viable for you to use and have them pay (where payment is made for medical expenses regardless of fault).
Your question requires a lot more information to properly evaluate your case. If your injury occurred more than two years ago and a lawsuit has not be filed, you may have a statute of limitation problem.
