It sounds like you do have a valid case. It can be either against the hospital if their staff was waxing the floor or an independent contractor if the hospital hired an outside company to clean the floors. I can handle the case pre-suit for you since most cases settle or you can contact a Georgia attorney.

Yes. I assume the accident was reported and you have documentation of your medical condition.

Based on the information given, you may have a case against the hospital for premises liability. As a result, the hospital would be responsible for properly compensating you for any personal injuries that you may have as a result of your fall on the waxed floors. Additional information is needed to fully assess your case- however, do not post the specifics on this public website.
