Urgent Care Slip And Fall Attorney

If you are like the average person, you think of hospitals, doctor’s offices, and urgent care facilities as safe places where you go for help when you are injured. They are not places where you expect to suffer added harm and injuries. But that is precisely what can happen when you are at an urgent care that is not providing the care and maintenance the facility requires to remain safe and hazard-free. Unfortunately, issues that should get immediate attention and resolution remain unsafe, resulting in slip and fall injuries. The most common and often overlooked safety concerns in urgent care facilities include:

• Food or drinks spilled on the floor and not quickly and properly cleaned up
• Drinking fountains, sinks, and other plumbing fixtures that are damaged or not functioning correctly get water on the floor
• Water lines or other hoses that leak liquid onto the floors
• Clogged drains that cause water to back up onto the floor
• Missing or saturated floor mats at entry doors or other often moist areas
• Litter or trash that is left on the floor or falls from an overly full trash can
• Small items that are dropped on the floor but not picked up
• Loose flooring or rugs
• Damaged flooring, steps, or ramps
• Missing or broken hand safety rails
• Hoses or electrical cords left in walkways

If you suffer a slip and fall while at an urgent care facility, it is easy to imagine that you become very frustrated. This space is supposed to be safe and help you when you are hurt, not cause added injuries. So you might be tempted to simply storm out of the facility, thinking you need to find another medical care facility. Please know that even what appeared to be an uneventful slip and fall incident can cause harm that is masked by the shock of the fall. Do not refuse medical care and an examination to ensure any harm caused by the slip and fall is professionally documented and treated as soon as possible. Some of the more serious harm that can be caused by a simple slip and fall incident include:

• Joint dislocations and damage to the connective tissue of joints
• Soft tissue and nerve destruction and damage
• Fractured or broken bones
• Lacerations and puncture wounds
• Damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Harm to the neck, back, and spinal cord
• Facial damage to the delicate skin on the face and head, as well as harm to the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth
• Head injuries that range from a skull fracture or severe concussion to a brain bleed or other traumatic brain injury

Once you have gotten the medical care required by your injuries and are considered medically stable, please reach out to DTLA Law Group to discuss the possibility of an urgent care slip and fall injury lawsuit to cover the cost of your medical expenses and other losses caused by these injuries.

When you enter an urgent care or any private or public space, you have the right to expect the surroundings to be safe and hazard-free. Premises liability law provides this confidence by defining the obligations of property owners and their staff to eliminate common safety issues and protect guests. The staff has a duty to react swiftly and provide the appropriate measures to eliminate or correct a safety issue when it is discovered or reported to them. If they fail to take action and restore the safety of the urgent care facility, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later learned that the staff negligence caused or contributed to someone’s injuries on the property, the owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses faced by the victim. Please get in touch with DTLA Law Group today if the staff at urgent care failed to meet their obligation for duty of care, and the result was your slip and fall injury.

Understanding that each lawsuit is carefully and independently evaluated to determine the compensation awarded to the injury victim is critical. You will work with your DTLA Law Group urgent care slip and fall injury attorney to compile all documentation to support your allowable expense claims. The items that are typically included in this process are:

• The cost to replace any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the slip and fall incident
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your urgent care slip and fall injury lawsuit
• The cost of all current and estimated future medical expenses related to the care of your urgent care slip and fall injuries
• Your lost income if the injuries suffered during the slip and fall prevent you from returning to your regular job until you are fully healed

As the victim of a personal injury, you have two years from the date of the injury incident to file a claim with the court. If the case is not filed in that time, you will lose the right to seek compensation and justice for the harm you suffered due to that particular incident. It is also vital to understand that there are very minimal exceptions to this strictly enforced time limit.
