Slip & Fall in Delaware County Hospital

Confidential Arbitration Award

Ninety-one-year-old Fran O. was admitted to a Delaware County hospital for shortness of breath.

The staff diagnosed her with bronchial pneumonia and began treatment and observation.

It should have been a short stay.

However, when Fran called for help to go to the bathroom, no one came to her aid.

Despite being a fall risk, she attempted to get there by herself.

Fran didn’t know one of the workers had cleaned the floor and left it wet.

She slipped, fell, and fractured her hip.

Her hospital stay was then extended for the necessary surgery and rehabilitation required for her hip.

Fran came to us seeking justice for her injury.

We were able to establish that the nursing staff was negligent and did not give Fran the necessary fall protection she needed during her stay.

The evidence secures a confidential Arbitration Award on her behalf.

If you or someone you know has suffered needless injury because of a medical professional’s negligence in care, it’s time to take a stand.
