Slip And Fall At Kaiser Permanente

Life can be hectic. And if you feel stressed because a loved one is in the hospital or you need a medical test or procedure, you can assume you were distracted when you slipped and fell at a Kaiser Permanente hospital. However, it is vital to know that most slip and fall accident injuries are due to outside factors beyond distraction or carelessness. Unfortunately, they are due to a lack of duty of care from the facility and staff where the victim suffered a slip and fall injury. 

Duty of care is part of premises liability law. It defines the level of care a facility, property owner, and its staff must provide to ensure the safety of guests, customers, or the general public on the property. The rules apply to all public and private spaces and require a minimum level of care to be delivered. This care is explained as what the average prudent person would provide, so it is easy to understand and meet the requirements of minimum care acceptable. 

For example, if the average prudent person sees water on the floor, they clean it up to prevent anyone from slipping and falling. In addition, if there is litter on the floor, they remove it to avoid a similar accident injury. These are what you would do in your home and what is expected of the staff at Kaiser Permanente. If they fail to deliver this minimum level of care, the facility and staff can be found negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to someone sustaining an injury accident, the facility can be liable for the victim’s losses and expenses. 

Many slip and fall accident injuries could have been prevented if the facility staff had invested only a little time in housekeeping and maintenance chores. Typically, the hazard could have been eliminated easily to prevent the slip and fall incident and costly and painful injuries. As you navigate the Kaiser Permanente properties, be attentive to your surroundings and watch for these common slip and fall hazards to avoid getting injured:

• Food or drinks spilled on the floor but not cleaned up 
• Ice dropped on the floor and left to melt into a difficult-to-see yet very hazardous puddle 
• Water pipes leaking onto the floor 
• Clogged floor drains flooding the area
• Malfunctioning plumbing fixtures that are getting water on the floor 
• Damaged, folded, or saturated floor mats or rugs
• Litter or trash left on the floor, sidewalks, or in the parking facility 
• Small items that were dropped on the floor but not picked up 
• Hoses or electrical cords in walkways 
• Poorly marked or unmarked steps, ramps, or transitions from one flooring surface to another 
• Damaged or uneven sidewalks or parking lot surfaces
• Dark stairways or hallways where a light bulb has failed, and it is difficult to see obstacles or hazards 

If you encounter any of these hazards and suffer a slip and fall at Kaiser Permanente, please reach out to DTLA Law Group today to discuss your case with the law firm that has experience in Kaiser Permanente injury cases.

Victims of a slip and fall at Kaiser Permanente need to know that there are no pre-determined values for slip and fall accident injury lawsuits or any other lawsuits. Instead, each case is carefully evaluated to determine all the allowable expenses and losses suffered by the victim. That information is then used to calculate the unique value of the Kaiser Permanente slip and fall accident injury lawsuit. Your legal team at DTLA Law Group will assist you in compiling all items that can be included, such as:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the injuries suffered are Kaiser Permanente
• The replacement value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the slip and fall injury incident
• Your lost income if the injuries suffered prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully recovered and for any work missed to attend medical appointments or treatment 
• All legal expenses related to your lawsuit in instances with severe injuries, it is common to include an amount of compensation for the victim’s pain and suffering

The Statute of Limitations defines how long the victim has to file their claim with the court. This law governs all lawsuits. However, the time allotted to the victim will vary based on the legal matter involved in the case. Because your slip and fall accident injury case is considered a personal injury lawsuit, you have two years from the date of the injury to file your lawsuit against Kaiser Permanente with the court. 

If the case is not filed within two years after your injury, you will lose the right to sue Kaiser Permanente for the harm and losses suffered due to that incident. It is also critical to know that there are few exceptions to this time limit. So, don’t hesitate to contact DTLA Law Group today to learn how and when to file your claim for compensation and justice for the harm you sustained at Kaiser Permanente.
