I had a baby 10 days ago, I slipped and fell at the hospital what should I do?

I am licensed in Nevada and represent victims of injury accidents such as you. I suggest contacting an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. There are several steps that should be taken quickly such as demanding videos be released or preserved. Failure to do so could result in a loss of vital information. More important is to make sure you get appropriate care. make sure that you see a physician or other provider of care as soon as possible. If you have health insurance, make sure that the care is billed to your insurer as liability in slip and fall accidents can be difficult to prove. DO NOT give any recorded statements to the hospital or its insurer. They can be tricky and try and get you to say things that could be used against you in your case. If you can, get pictures of the area and find the name of any witnesses. This will be helpful to any attorney you may retain. Hope this helps. /s Donald Kudler http://www.capandkudler.com

The likelihood of having a good claim depends in part on how much and how long the water had been on the floor. Here's why: Property owners have a duty to reasonably maintain their property. To boil down a lengthy analysis, this duty requires people and companies who own properties, whether they are grocery stores, restaurants or apartment complexes, to remove hazards of which they have notice, or of which they reasonably SHOULD have been on notice. In law school they torture the students with cases figuring out what that means. For example, if someone slips and falls on a brown banana peel with grocery cart tire marks in it, it is reasonable to infer that the peel had been there for a while, long enough that the store owner should have known about it. However, if there is a grape rolling along the floor and a person slips and falls on it, the store is not as likely to be held liable, because now the reasonable inference could be that the grape just recently enough fell to the floor that it is still rolling along, and had not been on the floor long enough that one can say that the store knew or should have known about it. Stores and other commercial establishments almost always fight these cases. Nonetheless, some of my largest settlements have been slip and fall cases. We screen our cases, pick the right ones and expose unsubstantiated defenses. Slip and fall cases have a very basic flaw. The injured person is contending that the property manager is negligent because they should have seen whatever hazard there was on the floor. But, the company owner scratches its head and says, if WE should have seen it and fixed it, shouldn't the person who slipped also have seen it and walked around, avoiding injury? Negligence experts can correctly say I've oversimplified the analysis. Volumes have been written on this subject, and in fact supreme court justices have adamantly taken divergent views even on basic negligence law. This is what it boils down to.
