Q: While at a casino, the front of the bar fell off onto my foot. I have nerve damage diagnosed by a podiatrist. I am in constant pain. Should I wait to hear from the Casino, or obtain an attorney?

Attorney Cliff Horwitz:
You are asking an attorney what you should do? How can I say it . . .
If you were fishing for sharks, would you learn from the shark in the water or have a fisherman guide you?
My answer would be the same. I strongly suggest that you get an attorney if you actually have nerve damage! Do not go to your enemy in litigation for help.
