- During the holiday season in December 1989 we rented a car from
- Alamo (from whom else in Texas?) at Hobby Airport in Houston in
- order to visit with two of our children and to spend some time in
- Galveston. No problems, no pressure, car was fine.
-
- The unusual circumstance was that several months earlier I had
- injured my knee in a bicycling accident. It seemed to be improving,
- but far too slowly. However, during the vacation it was giving me
- considerable pain, particularly climbing stairs, and I had promised
- my wife that I would, in fact, see a doctor when we got home.
-
- On the final day of the vacation we returned the car to the office
- near Hobby and rode the van back to the airport. It was a rainy
- day, and as I was leaving the van, I slipped on the step and landed
- hard on my foot, really jarring the injured knee. On the flight
- home, I noticed than there was no pain in the knee any longer, and
- there hasn't been any since. Consequently, I broke my promise to
- my wife and didn't go to the doctor.
-
- I know there are a lot of amateur (and maybe even professional)
- lawyers on the net. My question is: how can I file a negative
- lawsuit against Alamo for the medical expenses I didn't incur?
