What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?

Three weeks ago my Grandma broke her hip. After getting a pedicure and prior to a massage, beauticiantician had her put on a robe and a pair of disposable flip flops. After changing my grandma of 84 years walked out to the lobby and tripped on a misplaced floor mat (over-lapping another). My Grandma has had surgery since. She asked me for some advice on where to find a good lawyer, and also whether or not she should sue.What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?
I feel really bad for your grandma that she had to have surgery. However, I think it's really mean for her to sue. I've been in the beauty industry, and most day spas are locally owned businesses. Suing could shut them down and ruin the salon-owners livelihood. This could be devastating to the salon owner, particularly if she has a family that she is supporting. The disposable flip-flops are standard after a pedicure, there's nothing negligent about that. The misplaced floor mat could have happened anywhere, including at home. I think she should sue if she truely ginuinely needs the money for the medical care, but for no more. No pain and suffering, etc.What legal advice should my Grandma know before hiring an attorney?
I can feel what you and your grandma feels. It's a hard situation for old woman to broke her hip.





In the case of yours, perhaps you may ask free advise from pro-bono attorneys (non commercial/voluntary attorneys). There are plenty of them around the USA and they are really good. They don't even charge money for giving any law assistance to the society. Perhaps, you may take a look on the list that I just found from a very good website.
