I have resided at HomeTowne Fresno West for over 9 years now. On 06/19/2023 at 7:20am, I walked in the 3rd floor stairwell to go pay my rent, when I slipped in something at the top of the stairs, my foot came out from under me and as I was falling, I tried catching myself with my right hand, bent back my right hand to my forearm and injured my wrist and thumb as I landed on my back, which knocked the wind out of me. As I was trying to get up I realized my wrist was injured which caused me pain. I managed to walk down 2 flights of stairs got to the office and I told Maggie what had happened, then I told her I felt sick and felt like I was going to pass out, it was also hard for me to breathe. I had to lay on the floor as she called for an ambulance. I've had multiple x-rays, an MRI, seen an orthopedic doctor which tells me I had a fracture in my hand and I have torn tendons, so now I need surgery. I emailed corporate a made a claim regarding this incident and I've been told it was reported to the hotels insurance and that they would contact me. It's now been over 2 months and I haven't heard anything and the people in the office say they don't know anything or haven't heard anything. I need help paying my rent. I am completely unable to use my right hand. It's a struggle to even get dressed. My complaint is why hasn't anyone contacted me, I need help. I have proof of my injury and ambulance ride to the ER. I also have proof of how the stairwell and balcony aren't cleaned regularly. There's always food and puddles of liquid or water on the ground and no signs were posted.
Desired outcome: I feel I should be compensated for pain and suffering and lost wages for doctors appointments I've had to go to.
