Do I have a case against a hospital if I step on a pin the ER waiting room area?

Answered by attorney Larry M. Klein (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Larry M. Klein
In order for the hospital to be responsible for you getting stabbed by the pin, you would have to prove two things. First, you would have to prove that a dangerous condition of the floor caused you to be stabbed. A pin on a floor can potentially be a dangerous condition so you may be able to prove the existence of a dangerous condition. The more problematic issue is that you also have to prove that the hospital either created the dangerous condition or that the dangerous condition existed for such a length of time that the hospital should have discovered it. Since you describe the pin as one being from a dress shirt and not something that a hospital would normally use, it may be difficult to prove that the hospital created the dangerous condition. That means you would have to prove that the condition existed for such a length of time that the hospital should have discovered it. That may also be difficult to prove since you have no way of knowing how long the pin was on the floor for. For example, if someone not connected with the hospital had dropped the pin five minutes before you stepped on it, in my opinion that would not give the hospital sufficient time to discover the pin on the floor. The longer the pin was on the floor the better is your argument that the hospital should have discovered it, but again, I do not know how you will be able to prove how long the pin was on the floor. Hopefully, you will not get an infection. Please note that there are time limits that apply to claims of this type and if you do not comply with those time limits, you will lose any rights you have to present a claim for your injury. If you wish to pursue this matter any further, you should promptly consult the services of an attorney, or you might wish to pursue an action in Small Claims Court where the amount you can recover is limited by statute.

My son passed 20 months while he was sleeping. Few hours after he came from drinking for about six hours after his scheduled hours at work

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Personal Injury lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
There is a cause of action against a bar if they negligently "over serve" someone who is visibly intoxicated, and then that person goes out and injures someone else while driving, or injures themselves.  It is known as the "Dram shop" law.  Whether or not the bar has liability will depend on very specific facts such as the blood alcohol level, the length of time he was drinking, etc.  It seems from the information you provided your son worked at the bar, so there could be a worker's compensation portion also.

Can I pursue a case after the driver was arrested because of hit and run and other charges?

Yes, you can pursue a claim. But, do you have compensable injuries? Ultimately in order to receive money you will need to seek medical treatment. I am intentionally excluding property damage.
