RV Help Center

Yesterday a friend and I went to look at RV's to rent. My husband and I had rented one from this same place last Sept to go to the Grand Canyon and had had a good experience with this company. Well, she and I had gone into some of them to check out the inside, probably about eight, since renting last time I'm EXTREMELY careful getting in and out, hand rails etc. One of the employees came around and we looked at several w/ him, then went inside for info on renting, the employee came out to show us our opts. and got a call and walked away. Unfortunately the last RV we looked at I ended up slipping on the last step coming out, twisting my ankle and ending up on the ground. My friend ran to the office and he was w/ another customer. They left me laying on the ground for 20 mins before even calling 911. Long story short, my friend ended up driving me to hospital, using my own insurance, I have a fractured ankle, I can't go back to work 6 to 8 weeks( I 'm a server). What are my options now
The non slip covering on the bottom step was in disrepair. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't looking for some BIG SETTLEMENT, I wouldn't have driven to the hospital or even used my own insurance if that were the case. Now it's about my job and being able to pay bills etc. I don't want to just take time off (6 TO 8 WEEKS) but I CAN'T work. I'm a server in a restaurant and crutches aren't an option. I just need to what steps to take from this point and what I should expect.

Honestly, I don't think you should do anything. Sure it'd be GREAT to get some time off work and sue the hell out of a company and get money out of them… but the truth of the matter is, you slipped and it was an accident. Whatever you slipped on I'm quite sure was not intentionally placed in your path to cause you injury.

My advice is to take care of your ankle and get some rest. Anything more would be out of line.
