How do I report an injury to a homeowners policy?
Question Details: When I rented the home that I am currently in, the last tenants belongings were still here. After 30 days, the owner told me to get rid of the items. While doing this, a microwave fell on my foot and caused extensive damage. I have had surgery, and expect more. What is the statute of limitations to recover damages? (I went to the emergency room immediately and cause is on record. I also have been told I will not have full use of that foot for at least another 6 months.)
Personal Injury Law Answers
I doubt that the homeowners' policy will cover this. It isn't at all clear that the landlord was negligent in any way, and I'm assuming that he's the one covered. Without knowing more about the case, it doesn't sound like there was a hazard on the property, except perhaps a temporary one that you unknowingly created.
