๐ก๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ: Carmen, 34, Albuquerque, NM
๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ: Slip and fall at a grocery store - wet floor, no warning sign
๐๐ป๐ท๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Knee and lower back

๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป: i slipped at a grocery store and hurt my knee and back, do i have a case or is it my fault for not watching where i was going
๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ: Iโm so sorry to hear youโve been injured in an accident. That sounds like a really difficult and painful experience, and Iโm here to help in any way I can.
First and foremost, have you been able to get medical attention for your injuries? Itโs crucial to ensure your immediate health and safety are addressed, so please prioritize seeing a doctor or calling emergency services if you havenโt already. Once thatโs handled, tell me what you need assistance with right now.
๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป: they made me fill out an incident report right after it happened, does that help me or hurt me
๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ: Thatโs a common step after an accident like this. An incident report primarily serves to document the event from the storeโs perspective and often includes your initial statement. It can be helpful if it accurately records the date, time, location, and your initial description of the fall and injuries, providing official documentation that the event occurred.
However, if you filled it out while in shock or pain, you might have omitted details or understated your injuries, which could potentially be used later. Itโs crucial to ensure your medical records reflect the full extent of your injuries, even if they werenโt fully apparent or documented in the initial report.
๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป: its been about two weeks and my back is still really bothering me, i havenโt gone to a doctor yet because i donโt have great insurance, will that mess up my chances of getting compensation
๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ: I understand your concern about insurance, but itโs absolutely critical to see a doctor as soon as possible, especially since your back pain has persisted for two weeks. The delay in seeking medical attention can indeed complicate a potential claim, as it can make it harder to definitively link your injuries directly to the fall at the grocery store. Insurers often argue that if you waited, the injuries might not have been serious or could have stemmed from another cause.
Your immediate priority should be your health and getting a professional diagnosis and treatment plan for your back. This will not only address your pain but also create an official medical record documenting your injuries and their severity, which is essential evidence for any compensation claim. Please prioritize seeing a doctor, even if it means exploring options like urgent care, a primary care physician, or even a personal injury attorney who can refer you to doctors who work on a lien basis.
๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป:how long do i have to file a claim in new mexico for something like this
๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ: In New Mexico, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including those from slip and falls, is generally three years from the date of the injury. This means you typically have three years from the date you slipped at the grocery store to file a lawsuit in court.
While three years might seem like a long time, itโs always best to act much sooner. Building a strong case requires gathering evidence, medical records, and potentially speaking with witnesses, all of which become more difficult the longer you wait. Additionally, insurance companies tend to view claims more favorably when they are addressed promptly.
