Legal Question


I slipped and fell on a wet bathroom floor at a Fairgrounds in Maryland. The floor had just been mopped, but there were no attendants present and no wrning signs. There was one witness in the bathroom. When I returned home (South Carolina) 6 days later I went to the doctor. X-rays revealed 3 broken ribs. I have talked to a lawyer who wants 40% and expenses to work with the insurance company. I have 2 questions: 1) Is 40% and expenses fair and normal? and 2) Approximately (ball park) how much could I expect to receive from the insurance company and is it worth hiring a lawyer versus negotiating with the insurance company myself?
