Dispute with:	A Business, Company, or Store
Amount:	I just want Justice
Description:	In a rest stop parking lot off of Interstate 87 in NYS, my mother tripped on a deep pothole and fell on her face! From what I can see she was unconscious for a few moments and she scraped up her face. I took her to the nearest hospital. Thankfully the cat scans turned up negative, but she was put on pain medication and of course told to take it easy for a couple of days.

Joey	1 year, 2 months ago OK. I'm not so much looking to see if I have a case, but along the lines of how to get started, what I need to note, prepare etc. This was supposed to help me move along quicker as I've been too frantic to think straight. This experience has traumatized me a bit.

Joey	1 year, 2 months ago There wasn't any signs, cones, caution tape are anything at all to draw attention to it nor warn that a deep hole was formed where people walk and drive. It should have been virtually impossible for someone to step into this hole even purposely. A pothole this size does not form overnight. It should have been blocked off or filled. She just wanted to dispose of the coffee cup she finished using from the place in the receptacle in the parking lot. That was her reward for not just leaving it on the ground near where we parked like everyone else does.

Ron	1 year, 2 months ago Was there any reason why she couldn't see this pothole?
