Step Father slipped and fell at Kroger breaking his arm

I got a call yesterday morning from my mother to come get my step fathers truck. On his way to work he pulled into the Kroger fueling station to get gas. When he stepped out of the truck he slipped and fell on oil breaking his arm in 3 places. He was parked right next to the window of the fueling station building, but he laid there for 5 mins in pain before a customer pulled up and seen him laying on the ground. The attendant was on her tablet not paying attention to what was going on and get up oil spill.

The ambulance came and took him to the emergency room, where he then was transfered to another hospital for surgery.

The poor guy cant catch a break, he’s going through treatments for stage 4 lung cancer and now this.

I am sorry that happened. People just don’t pay attention to their surroundings. I hope all this gets sorted and your pops recovers gracefully!

Sorry to hear this @BigPunkin.
What may mitigate his pain would be for him to consult a personal injury lawyer asap.
Strikes me as negligence on the part of Kroger.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to your step father’ arm. My own father pasted away from stage 4 lung cancer(+) last November, so I know how hard thing can be. :cry:
