If you are injured through the negligence of another which did not involve an automobile collision it is not enough that you be injured on another's premises. Rather, it is necessary that you be able to prove that the dangerous condition that caused your injury (such as water on the floor) was present for a sufficient period of time that whoever was in control of the premises ignored the danger or failed to keep a reasonable lookout for the danger which caused your injury. Unlike automobile cases, these premises liability cases carry no permanent impairment threshold requirement before you may be eligible to collect pain and suffering damages. Consequently, it is not necessary to prove that you have sustained a permanent impairment of any kind.  Nevertheless, it is important that you treat with a qualified physician or physicians who will be in a position to evaluate and document your injury.
