If seriously injured see a lawyer. This can be a very complicated issue. Was the manhole cover off, just askew or did vandals dislodge it? Was it set improperly and a car opened it? These can be difficult cases and require significant injuries before it's economically feasible to pursue. As attorney Luedeman suggests, the facts are important and more details are needed. So see a lawyer and let the lawyer work out the responsibility for the issue.

I fell in a manhole and the city of des moines and waterworks are fighting who will take the blame do i have a good case?

Injury - Property Defect-Animals

What if I was shopping at a store and got injured while trying out a product? I was shopping at store for kitchen tables. I found a nice table set with tall chairs like bar stools. When I went to sit on the chair, I fell 3 plus feet to the ground hurting my back. The store has taken liability and I have been contacted by (chartis) which is the insurance company. They told me to seek more doctor approval, but I have no insurance then they said they could do a claim for future medical expenses but they have been waiting on my medical bills for over 4 months. This happened in September. I'm still experiencing numbness in my right leg along with tingling back pains and headaches. These sometimes hinder my everyday tasks like my job.
