Q: I was injured in a ski lift accident on Sugar Mountain in North Carolina on March 6, I fractured my right leg.
The platform of tower was Bare and the ski lift operator was not watching the ski lift and the ski lift never descended to the tower properly.
A: Presumably you are looking for an attorney to pursue a claim against the ski resort. You probably need to find an attorney licensed to practice in North Carolina, not Florida.
A: It certainly sounds like you have a valid and worthwhile potential claim to compensate you for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and any other related damages. The first step in this situation is to present a claim to the insurance company for the business operating the ski lift, and if that is unsuccessful, the next step is filing a lawsuit in North Carolina. Though you would need a NC attorney if suit must be filed, Florida attorneys can help you get the process started.
