I slipped and fell, is anybody liable?

Both my little girl and I slipped and fell in the parking lot of my apartment complex on ice this morning. She bumped her head and has a knot and I'm achy and my back hurts. We have Dr appts tomorrow. Are they liable for not putting salt down? Should I request compensation for our Dr visits?

    Is there any requirement that the put salt down?

    This sounds like a hazard of daily life to me. I would ask you why you were not more careful when walking in conditions where ice is a reasonably foreseen hazard.

    it depends on the ordinances in your city. if they did not lay salt before they know most people will use sidewalk then in a way they are at fault. if the city has a ordinace then check with city hall to find out more. when at the doctor when they ask what its for then explain. if you dont then they just get regular forms an say yep thats a bump.

    If you can't even stand up on your own then you deserve to fall over without it being any ones fault....It's called an accident for Gods sake.

    check with the corporate office of the apartment complex. If no one say you it will be difficult to prove

    haha WOW, some of these people obviously dont have children. I don't know the answer to your question. Just wanted to say I hope you and your daughter get well. Make sure when she goes to sleep tonight that you check on her since she hit her head.
