Question

I was walking today on street on 25 and third. Outside a restaurant and on the street where they have those pot holes that are closed someone from the restaurant opened as I was walking. I went flying. Bashed my knee. Arm. My hip and rib in a lot of pain. Everyone told me to go to eR but I’m ok. Just badly bruised. Please advise if i could sue for negligence

Answer

The problem with not going to the ER is that you will have no documented injury, and thus no basis for a personal injury claim, even though you otherwise might have a viable case. If you're still in pain, present to the ER. A police report would also help.
