I slept and fell in a puddle of water at quest diagnostics and I stay on the second floor and I can barely get up there.
Asked in Oakland, CA on May 12, 2026 Last answered on May 15, 2026So was in quest diagnostics and going to get some blood work done and I walked in and slipped and fell in a puddle of water a nurse told me to stay down and she took pictures of me when I was on the floor so I have her as a witness and I stay on the second floor at a medical respite and I can no longer receive care there because I stay on the second floor and there's no first floor accommodations there. What can I do?

Free Consultation Evidence:
Did you notice any surveillance/ security cameras nearby where you slipped? Having a witness is very important, but this witness appeared after the fact (at least that's what it looks like).
Insurance Claim:
Have you opened a claim with Quest and/or the property management for the building? Their insurance carrier will need to investigate the length of time that the liquid (assuming it's water) was there and whether there was a premise liability policy in place and/or whether it was followed.
Treatment:
What about treatment? Have you seen your primary care doctor? Have you made notes or documented your pain, mobility, disturbance to daily activities?
These are among the most important "First Things" you should be doing.
