in the morning it was snowing today, i went to drop off my kid to school, when i come out of car, i fell down on my right elbow, because at that area it was ice under that snow.i got up and took my kid inside the school and even i was in pain and i told my kid's teacher that i fell down and its paining. i went to car , started it and i wasd going to office, i feel very pain, i went to doctor, told her everything, she sent me to x ray, and in xray it showed elbow has a fracture, doctor put plaster on my whole right arm and told me rest for 6-8 weeks. then afternoon, i went to school to pick my son and i met principal and wrote a accident report

You turn in the medical bills to your health insurance.

You were dropping your kid off on a snowy day. Ice is to be expected.

Lets look at it another way.....I'm dropping my kid off at your house on a snowy day because it's your turn to drive the carpool to school. As I get out of my car to escort my kid to your door....I fall on some ice. Do you think I should sue you?


Unless you can prove that the school was negligent....and that negligence caused you to fall....you don't have a case.

Just because you fall on someones property does not mean you get a big pay day.

Sometimes cr@p happens and you don't get paid for it.

I am an insurance adjuster who typically handles claim from the side of a business owner. The question as to whether you have a valid claim depends on whether the school should have cleaned/removed the ice and snow. Also if you could see the ice/snow then you have a duty to avoid walking across it. All that being said, there are a number of factors involved in these accidents. I wrote an article about how to respond to a slip and fall accident. It is written from the property owner's perspective, however it may help you to understand how these claims are addressed.

I'll link below.

You are looking for a free lunch. No one else is responsible because you fell down. Since it was still snowing, the school is not required to have a snow free, ice free area for you to park in.
