Slip and Fall - Request for Help
On Sept. 19 I was shopping in a local grocery store with friends. We went to the checkout line, and realized we forgot a couple items. I picked them up, and returned to towards the checkooout counter. I was unaware that the floor was being washed by a guy with a machine. I hit a wet spot on the floor and hit the ground hard. There were no warning signs or cones, and when I was helped to my feet the guy washing the floor came back towards us to make another pass. I sprained my ankle, received bruises and hurt my neck. The store manager asked if I was ok, I said '' I think so'' and we left. The pain continued, I went to my physician, he diagnosed me with whiplash, presecribed meds. I went back two more times, as the neck pain continues. He prescribed an MRI, but would not call for authorization under my HMO because he said it is a 3rd party situation and they would deny benefits. To make things worse, I lost my job and insurance coverage. A friend wrote a written statement as to what he saw. It has been nearly one month, and I have daily pain and stiffness in my neck. What can I do?
