[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 395486, member: 1233"] I am SO SORRY about your fall!!! It is clear that the mgmt of the mall KNOWS they are at fault and that is why they have been so nasty! You are right that some mgmt idiot thinks he can intimidate you with his nastiness!! In most cases I am NOT inclined to sue anyone, but with the way they are acting you need to consider it. If nothing else, a sizable settlement will ensure that future incidents are handled more appropriately. Given your other health issues, I would NOT agree to ANYTHING until you and easy child are completely healed. She may need physical therapy to help the muscles heal properly and you are certain to need it for quite a while. It is also a good idea to at least speak with a therapist to help you cope with the pain - they can do a lot to help and few people think about it. easy child is hurting on the other side because her body overworked the non-hurt side to take it easy on the hurt side. It is expected with injuries on only one side that this will happen, at least every chiro, PT and ortho doctor I have ever seen has said so. Please consider suing - there is little chance the mall would take it to court as it will be LOTS easier to settle, and it might be a nice nest egg to put up for the future, plus you will have some expenses from this like dinners that you get from a restaurant or easy to cook things so that you can rest, plus the extra stress on the family, the cost of clothing torn by the fall, etc... You may even have to get special shoes if your legs and feet are as bad as it sounds, and even clothing that is easy to get on and off may be needed. There is NO reason that you should pay these costs, this is exactly why the mall has insurance. I am NOT the type of person who files lawsuits, but in the case where the mall people treated you SO badly at the time AND the next day, well, they need to learn a lesson. Accepting a settlement is NOT wrong and it may mean the ins co forces the mall to put in better safeguards so that others don't get hurt. Imagine how bad it would have been if your cousin fell, or a little old person with brittle bones fell!! With the way the mgmt acted who knows if they would have gotten help or laid in the snow for an hour until someone found them!!! That could have happened to you and easy child! Be SURE to get a statement of some kind from the taxi driver - let the lawyer chase it down. It will be another voice on your side as I am sure the taxi driver would make a statement. However, if the mall people find him first they might try to pay him to say something different. Sending LOTS of healing vibes to you and easy child. [/QUOTE]
