Keches Law Group obtained a $1,000,000 settlement in a premises liability case involving a dangerous and preventable condition inside a hospital.
A 67-year-old registered nurse (RN) suffered serious, life-altering injuries in a hospital slip and fall caused by dangerous and unmarked floor conditions. After stepping out of a stairwell, the plaintiff slipped on a freshly waxed floor with no warning signs, barriers, or notices, creating a clear case of hospital negligence and failure to warn. This incident underscores how unsafe floor conditions in hospitals can lead to devastating consequences when proper safety protocols are ignored.
The fall resulted in severe injuries requiring multiple surgeries and extensive medical treatment. Due to the lasting impact of these injuries, the plaintiff was ultimately unable to return to work as a nurse, making this a career-ending slip and fall injury case.
Cases like this fall under premises liability, where hospitals, property owners, and contractors can be held accountable for failing to maintain safe conditions and protect individuals from known hazards. Attorney Lisa M. Conserve and team secured a $1,000,000 settlement for the client.
