Well which person should I have sued? I do have a suit against the outdoor shopping area where the walk was broken.But Tennessee has a very stringent test for how bad the sidewalk has to be broken and or what level of negligence occurred to allow the sidewalk to be in disrepair. Now, they will try to get out of it because of the second break. All I know is it’s been over a year, I was fine when I walked to the restaurant, had never fallen in my adult life and they’re still fighting just paying my medical bills ...let alone all the pain and suffering from the broken femur, cracked hip and pelvis and the IM Nailing exchange surgery. I was an independent 3-5 mile a day walker and now I am lucky to go to the store alone! It’s such an ugly business of blaming the victim! In fact the manager of the mall inadvertently told the intern my attorney sent
( he thought it was his insurance company rep) to take pictures, that my two friends and I were drinking in the bar in the corner for three hours and we were drunk. I don’t drink, we had been in town less than 2 hours and I had 3 conversations with the office staff at our resort just 30 minutes prior to the fall....Fully sober! Thanks for letting me vent!

Sadly, suing a company or any “entity” almost always has the cards stacked against the claimant. For the few stories that get published about some cheater making false claims and getting some huge payout, I think there are hundreds (or thousands) of people who should receive compensation, but get nothing. The state of Virginia really stacks the deck against people who get injured and try to sue for negligence. The interpretation is that if the claimant has any responsibility whatsoever for the injury (... you should have been paying more attention and not tripped over that big crack in the sidewalk, or that pool of soapy water on the floor, etc., etc.), then the claimant gets nothing. It’s crazy.
