    Default Re: Fell Off a Snow Covered Ledge on Commercial Property and Broke My Leg

    My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of:
    New York
    I broke my leg when I fell off the ledge of a 6' wall. I was chasing important papers across the parking lot of a copy center. I didn't see the ledge because it looked just like a snow bank. I fell and broke my leg. There were no signs to warn me. If there had been a sign I wouldn't have gone in that direction. The ledge is on the copy centers property. Should I file a claim?
    I am on unemployment so how would lost wages be determined?
    You were "chasing important papers", so does that mean you weren't looking where you are going when all of this happened?? This reminded me of a women who fell into a fountain while texting:

    Apparently, even she managed to find a lawyer to file a lawsuit, and you can probably give it a try as well. Looks like there's no sign in front of the fountain saying "you might fall in the fountain". But suing for "lost wages" while unemployed, that is pretty "ballsy".

    However, if there is lawyer out there who can sue and collect for someone who got hurt because he wasn't looking where he's going, and then collect on lost wages for someone unemployed, I'm sure we all want to know this guy or gal is too.
