Re: fall down escalator
Depending upon the extent of the injury and whether there existed any hazard causing the fall, you may have a viable claim. As for the medical bills, you could see if the hospital might consider writing it off to "charity care". If you'd like to pursue a claim, we'd need additional information in order to evaluate its viability. Please feel free to contact me or any of my partners at the Blume Goldfaden Firm via the profile information provided on this site. We look forward to speaking with you, and will assist you in any way we can.
