My friend runs a small deli and usually work's by himself. He hired some help for a week and the person got a small injury on the slicer and cut his finger a little bit. His hospital bill was about $250.00 my friend offered to pay but the worker told him not to worry about it. The worker no longer works there and my friend just got some papers suing him for damages of more then $50,000. What are my friends options here? His buisness is incorpated if that means anything

A good lawyer should be able to eat this case if the bill was only 250.00 initially. Stating that the injury was small is important...if the injury was significant enough to keep this worker from gaining employment then he could be looking at a serious lawsuit. I don't want to give any wrong advice because state laws vary based on small businesses and personal injury claims so you definitely need to spend time looking into that particular state's laws.

If your friend is insured, his liability coverage will pick this up. He needs to file a liability claim through his business insurance. If he's uninsured, he needs to lawyer up.
