and now I'm wondering if I signed away my rights.
Long story short - I went to Costco today to pick up one of those double bookcases they have and I asked one of the workers to help me load it up on the flat cart.
The top box had already been opened, so I didn't want to get it home and find out it was missing pieces, so I asked him to help me put the one on top down on the floor so we could put the next one down on my cart.
Since it was up about 12 deep, it was kind of high, but I didn't think much of it. I asked him if he had his end and was ready "yup". I said, "are you sure?" "Yup" said the worker. I had my end off the stack and he was dragging his end off and when it was time for him to use some muscle - he dropped it right to the floor. This caused me to lose the grip on my end and the entire box came down on my ankle. I went down, landed on my BlackBerry and cursed.
My ankle was already selling and bleeding. He went over and got the manager who came with a clipboard and some paperwork. I filled it out with what happened and there was a spot on there to claim if I was going to seek medical care or not. Since it didn't feel broken and I could walk and everything I said no on that question.
Did I sign away my rights to have them pick up the cost of the office visit since I said no if I end up going in to have them check it out?
Just wondering.
