Q: Slipped and fell out of a bumper boat onto a dock. Had an mri done. I have a torn meniscus, a torn acl, a broken tibula.
I have not been able to return to work since the fall. Do i have legal recourse here?
A: I’m so sorry to hear about your accident and injuries. You may have a valid case. You should immediately consult an experienced New Jersey attorney who accepts personal injury cases. You can easily find one of us on Justia.com. Most lawyers offer a free consultation. You have to take proper legal action in time to preserve your rights. Some cases have deadlines as short as 90 days. Good luck.
A: Maybe, a lawyer would need to know what caused you to fall, was it your fault or some type of negligence of the boat owner. Also important is where did you fall, did it happen in NJ or in another jurisdiction. I suggest you speak with a good personal injury lawyer to see exactly what your best options are.
