Questions for a lawyer
- Was the place controlled by a business, landlord, contractor, or public body?

Keep the legal analysis local
Limitation periods, fault rules, insurance requirements, public-body procedures, damages rules, and possible exceptions vary. Record the incident location, every possible party, and the source of any deadline before relying on it.
