[LA] I stepped on a nail at a hotel while doing someone’s hair for a wedding. Can I seek compensation?

So, I recently did somebody’s hair for their wedding. I was their hairstylist at the Royal Finesse in New Orleans. Basically, one of the coffee tables in her suite — the trimming that was nailed in — must have fallen off, leaving the nails exposed. While I was doing her hair, I backed up and one of the nails went through my foot. It immediately started bleeding. We had to stop the bleeding so I could finish her hair for her wedding. My question is: I let security know and they did an incident report, but I don’t know what my next step should be. Should I follow up and ask for compensation (like a free room or something) because of what happened, or should I just let it go like nothing happened?

[LA] How do I renew my driver’s license if I’m flagged for a cancelled insurance policy on a car I sold but I don’t have a bill of sale?

I live in Louisiana and need to get my driver’s license renewed. When I went to do so, I was flagged due to a cancelled insurance policy on a previous vehicle. I sold this vehicle to a car dealership in Memphis, Tennessee, on October 30, 2024. The state said I needed to provide them with a bill of sale, but I never filled one out. Is it okay to create one now and send it to the dealership to sign?
