You need to contact a El Paso personal injur attorney. To recover, you must show the military hospital knew or should have known of th water on the floor before your accident happened.

You should immediately go to an emergency room and document your injuries. After that you should contact a personal injury attorney in the area where this Hospital is located and set up a face-to-face free consultation with the attorney and determine whether or not the attorney is able to undertake your representation.

Under no circumstances should you give any statement to the adverse party nor grant them access to your medical records without first speaking with a personal injury attorney. Do not delay in seeking counsel.
