CLIENT FALLS FROM HOSPITAL BED RECEIVES $100,000

A New York City resident, 75 years of age, was an inpatient in a hospital for a medical condition.  In the morning, unrelated to his medical condition, the client woke with a torn quadricep tendon. Even though the client had prior complaints to the area, it was alleged that the client exacerbated and aggravated a prior condition due to defendant's negligence. SILER & INGBER, LLP, commenced an action in Supreme Court against the hospital alleging that the injuries suffered by the client were committed by the negligence of the hospital personnel, in particular, causing and permitting the bed rails to be lowered which resulted in the client falling out of the hospital bed overnight. The defendant argued that the bed rails were lowered by the client's family and not by hospital personnel.  NY accident lawyer Ronald Ingber settled the matter on the eve of trial for $100,000.
