My wife's injuries came from a slip & fall. We had taken our daughter to an emergency room late last november with severe abdominal pain. They had taken her down the hall from the ER for some test in a wheelchair and then taken her back to the ER. A few minutes later, the doctor decided he wanted another tests dome and so our daughter was put back into a wheelchair and an attendent was pushing the wheel chair while my wife and I were walking behind them.

While going down the same long hallway that we had come through 15 or so minutes earlier - in a area where two sections of building connect- there is a downhill ramp in the hallway, the attendent, who was walking in the center of the hall suddenly verved to the left. As she moved ahead of us - it was then that I saw a wet floor sign at the bottom of the ramp. As I turned to tell my wife to be careful, I saw both of her feet slip out from under her and go up into the air at the top of the ramp area. She fell flat on her back hard - hitting her head on the tiled covered concrete floor. I will never forget the sound of her head hitting that floor. After she hit, she slid down to the bottom of the ramp. She was badly stunned - but did not appear to lose consciousness. The information we were told was that someone had thrown up in the hall and it had been mopped. There was standing water in the floor in little puddles in the uneven tile to the extent that her clothing was wet. She was eventually put in a neck brace and on a back board and moved to the ER. That was over a year ago. Her injuries included 3 bulging discs in her neck, one in her lower back, a severe concussion, a spained wrist, and a pulled right shoulder. She was treated at that hospital that night - but was not told she had a concussion or any serious injuries. The next day, when she continued to have a severe headache and continued to vomit, I took her to another hospital in Orlando, where we were informed more fully about her injuries.
