I would probably send a letter with the specifics of my accident, a few pix of the curb, your injuries and purse to the mall management. And suggest they make changes to prevent further injuries.
This is a great idea - make them aware of the problem so that they can prevent it from occurring in the future.
I've heard from a LOT of people that I should seek compensation for my elliptical injury (it broke and threw me backward into a wall, which injured my shoulder). But you know, I had probably installed it too close to the wall, their liability is limited because I can't prove I maintained it properly, and it would have been a lot of hassle and stress. Even with the significance of the injury, which will possibly be permanent (going over a year and a half now), I don't feel that petitioning for compensation would be a morally acceptable choice for me (because of the installation position I have some degree of culpability, and because I've searched pretty extensively and found no other reports of this kind of breakage on other models or units of my machine, so it appears to be a truly freak accident). I did, though, write them a letter and post my experience widely, so if someone ELSE has this same part break, they will be aware that it isn't just a one-time thing.
