Question: Can my husband sue if he fell at a business and
hurt himself but he was on company time?
Question Detail: Husband fell at this business that they didn't keep clear of ice and snow and when coming out the door he fell forward and landing on his knees. This company took picture and they admit fault but just gave my husband a card with the store number on it and said corp. would call him in 24 hrs. Here it is a week later and still no phone call but he was working at the time so he had to call safety and report it and he took a day and half off of work but didn't feel like he needed to go to the Dr then. His knee is still killing him please help what should we do and can we sue this company where he fell.

ANSWER: Your husband should file
a workers compensation claim with his employer if he was working. He can also pursue a case against the
business that didn’t clear the ice. That
is called a third party claim. Two
claims is complicated and probably justifies have an attorney handle the claim
if it is serious.
