Walked into a flower pot outside a dentsts office. Huge bump on my shin! What should I do???

So here's what happened. I work for Ups so I was delivering to this dentists office. I walked inside delivered the boxes and walked out. I turned to the left and walked right into this flower pot that I hadn't noticed on the way in. It was directly in the path to the parking lot. At any rate it hit me right in the shin below my knee cap, fell over and broke. I bent over in extreme pain then walked back inside , let them know what happened , apologized profusely and asked for a broom. They looked, made sure I knew how completely upset they were, then walked inside and demanded my information. I gave them everythng and kept apologzing . Never once did they ask if I was ok. I left and kept on with my route even though my leg was killin me. It's been almost two weeks and there's a huge hard bump on my shin. What should I do? ? ? Also they're saying it's gonna cost $200

I don't know what to tell you about the cost of the flower pot. I would think that an apology would cover that, as it was definitely an accident. As for your leg, I would go get x-rays. It is possible to have broken your fibula and still be walking. Or the knot could be muscle or ligament injuries that would require an MRI or CAT scan to determine. Best case scenario is that you go to the doctor and they tell you that you have just bruised you shin bone, but they might give you pain relievers. Good Luck!
Reply:go to the doctor, you should have already, and present them with the bill for having a hazzard in the trail!!!





If a business must keep flower pots, they should keep them off the traffic pattern so people don't walk into them. This is entirely their fault.





But you should have gone straight from there to the doctor! Then presented them with the doctor bill. I think it will outweigh the cost of the flower pot.
Reply:Have your shin checked out by a doctor. Get an attorney, and see if you have a case. If they are going to charge you for the flower pot, he can head that off, by at least threatening a lawsuit.
Reply:have your employer pay the medical bill -it's considered workman's comp. follow up with the doctor who initially treated you. the injury to the bone will take longer to heal than a normal bruise, but you need to be sure.
