<prompt> Human: We are on vacation in Palm Coast, Florida. A large group of friends went to dinner with us at a restaurant. Soon after paying the bill, and as my mom was starting to leave, a six foot diameter section of the ceiling fell right onto her. Knocking her to the ground. The restaurant quickly called an ambulance. She may have damage to her neck and hip. What should I do to make sure that the restaurant pays for her medical expenses?Picture of the chaos of those interested: Assistant: Call a lawyer immediately. Human: I dont have a lawyer currently. What is the proper way to find a decent lawyer?  <response>: The state bar association often does referrals. It sounds like youre out-of-state, so youll want a local lawyer. Call around. Remember that youre not stuck with your first choice if they end up being mediocre.Most likely thing to happen is that the restaurants insurance pays for everything, your lawyer is there to make sure paperwork says what it needs to, and things arent left out.Remember that the restaurants insurance companys lawyer is not your own, even if theyre friendly. Have your own.
