Q: When do I let the landlord know that I broke my ankle on the rental property and that I am awaiting surgery?
Accident caused by a flight of stairs. The bottom step is substantially lower than the other 15 steps which caused me to trip and land on my ankle. Tripped a few times over the past 2 years but this time i broke my ankle.
A: You should report it to the landlord right away. Did you tell the paramedics/ emergency room doctors or nurses that the stairs caused your fall? You should contact anyone of us on Justia for a free consultation.
A:
MORE INFO IS NEEDED....BUT REPORT NOW!!!!
YOU SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH PI LAWYER FOR TODAY AND LET HIM/HER GUIDE YOU AND MAYBE MAKE THE NOTICE OF INJURY.
HOPEFULLY, YOU TOLD THE ER/DOCS ETC, OF THE FALL WITH THE DATE AND REASON FOR THE FALL.......GOOD LUCK
