Medical offices and hospitals should be the safest places. And usually, they are. Unfortunately, there are times when a visit to the hospital or a medical office can result in an injury. If this happens to you, Feiner & Lavy is here to help.
If a visit to the doctor’s ends in a ride to the hospital, call Feiner & Lavy!
A visit to the hospital for a blood test or X-ray or to visit someone who’s sick is not something most people look forward to. Many hospitals in the Bronx and throughout New York City have substantial cleaning staff who are charged with keeping the floors clean. Hospitals are filled with fluids – from IVs to water pitchers that are filled and delivered to patients – that can create the right ingredients for a slip and fall accident.
Medical facilities are a bit different in that they are often in medical office buildings that do not have a level of cleaning staff that approaches hospitals. Runners or old carpets that bunch up, especially if they’re dark, create a tremendous hazard. A wet, tiled lobby can be a disaster for someone coming in for a checkup and can be particularly dangerous for the elderly.
Another problem with hospitals and medical facilities is that there is often equipment that is left in passageways. These create tripping hazards for people who may not have good balance or are otherwise physically impaired.
It doesn’t stop with the medical world. Stacks of files or other hazards in a dentist office can also lead to nasty injuries from trip and fall accidents.
If something like this happens to you or a loved one, you are not alone. You have a champion to fight for your best injury settlement: the law firm of Feiner & Lavy. We know that nobody deliberately tries to create a situation where someone will get hurt, but accidents do happen, and victims are left injured. And this means that you need someone strong in your corner.
Building owners – whether it’s a big commercial real estate operator, a hospital corporation, or a doctor – have insurance companies and lawyers already on their payroll. This becomes a very hard fight if you’ve been hurt and need care. The insurance companies and lawyers representing a building owner or tenant really doesn’t care about you. They care only about one thing: giving you the least amount of money to go away. Medical care for your injuries and rehabilitation, lost wages, and damage to your life is not their concern.
If the place whose purpose is to care for you leaves you injured, this is where Feiner & Lavy comes in. We will investigate your claim and pursue the biggest possible injury settlement. We are the experts when it comes to winning cases like this.
