What would YOU do if you got hurt on another investors property?

[Ryan Dossey]

I know that folks in the USA tend to be very eager to use litigation. 

There's a comedian who talks about the American Dream. A few decades ago it was a nice home, in a subdivision, with a fenced yard, and late model cars. You achieved the American dream by breaking your back to make it happen. 

That dream now is that your Redbull didn't give you wings or you spill your Coffee on yourself. 

I was at a property yesterday that had a deteriorated porch step. My foot got caught as I was stepping and I pulled something. Obviously this was my fault for not watching where I was walking. 

But it makes me wonder if someone more "unethical" would have seized the opportunity what the outcome would have been. 

Ps: This is why I insure my properties and I carry blanket liability coverage.

Guess it depends how hurt I was. Earlier this year I was visiting a house that was a full rehab. Myself and 3 other investors, one being the owner, was touring the place. My foot went down into one of the floor boards and thankfully I didn't get hurt. We continued on throughout the house. Things could've gone another route and if I had to file suit I would have. However, many people in America are coaxed to file a lawsuit just by being present, even if they aren't physically or psychologically hurt. It's an unfortunate process that many go by. I'm not that way.
