What should we do if my wife slipped and fell at a restaurant and hurt her rib?
We went to the emergency room the next day. They took X-rays and said nothing was broken, although they did say that she has a chest strain that could take up to 4 weeks to heal. The doctor told to rest so she took next 3 days off. The restaurant has called but we haven’t heard from their insurance yet. What to do next?

I suggest that you spouse consult with a personal injury attorney in the locality that you reside in to discuss issues of liability and damages. One in your community can be found on attorneypages.com. I would consult with your own attorney before dealing with the insurance carrier for the restaurant.
