It is important to note that a business is not required to pay for your medical bills, lost wages or pain and suffering damages unless it was negligent. In order to establish that a business was negligent, you must be able to show that the business did not exercise ordinary care and that its failure to exercise ordinary care caused you to be injured.

For instance, if you slip and fall in a grocery store, the store is not automatically responsible for paying your medical bills and expenses. You have to be able to show that the grocery store knew or should have known of the dangerous condition on its floor and that it failed to exercise ordinary care. In other words, you have to prove that the grocery store had notice of the dangerous condition on its floors and that it had time to clean it up. The Shachtman Firm will help you do so.
