My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Washington

I was at a Enrolled Tax Agents House with my wife working on our tax issues.
The agent operates a regular business office on the side of his home to meet
with clients.

We were all sitting at the desk in chair on a carpeted floor. I hear some strange noises from the other room that sounded like someone was medically
hurt. I asked the Tax Agent did he hear the same noises I was hearing in the other room and that I thought someone was hurt and needed help.

The Tax Agent hollers to his wife in the other room, Are you ok honey?
She hollered back NOOOOOOOOOOOO and it sounded like she was in need
of help.

I try to scoot my chair back in a hurry to go help and the chair completely
entangles my feet and turns over and tosses me into the book cases next to the desk in a mangled pile with the chair landing atop me.

I wind up with a broken leg from the incident in his office. Taken to ER and emegency surgery performed and kept in hospital for 3 days. Just got home this week and now I am a walker for 8 weeks with no weight allowed on my broken leg pending further doctor orders.

Check with the Tax Agent today to see if he has has any policy to cover these accidents and said he has both a home owners and a business liability policy.

I will state that both the Agent and his wife admitted several clients have fallen in this office due to the chair not sliding properly on the carpet and the
wife said this was the last straw the carpet was coming out and hard wood floors were going in before someone else gets hurt.

Do I have a case? The Tax Agent I was doing business with has coverage with State Farm and a claim was entered today but not seen any adjustors
...... I ask as I have a huged deductible on my medical plan and a 70/30 plan which is not going to cover all the bills.

So I have the need for a lawyer to handle this or is it not worth chasing?
