A: If the negligence of the business or premises owner proximately caused your injuries (for example, by failing to correct or warn about a concealed unreasonably dangerous condition), they may be legally responsible for your damages.

You should consult a personal injury attorney in or near the county where the establishment is located.

A: They can be, depending on the circumstances. As my colleague advises, try to arrange a consult with an attorney. Attorneys offer free initial consults for such accidents.

There are different ways to handle it, and it could depend on liability, your coverage, need for liens, etc. Good luck
