Hospitals around the country are recognizing an important
demographic trend: Americans are getting larger. To address the needs of
plus-sized patients, hospitals have acquired stretchers that can carry
500-pound patients, larger beds, and floor-mounted rather than wall-mounted
toilets, to name just a few changes.
Hospitals adopting these changes are moving in a responsible
direction. Unfortunately, however, far too many businesses are slow in taking
these steps. As a result, they serve customers in conditions that are unsafe
for obese patrons. It’s important to recognize: businesses can limit whom they
serve. However, if they chose to provide for overweight customers, they must do
so safely.
Are you a plus-sized person who was injured in a restaurant,
shopping center, or other facility because the business failed to offer safe
furniture or sufficient walkways? You may have a valid legal claim as a result
of the physical injury or emotional distress you’ve experienced. Find out if
