Mgmt had car curbs painting job begin before guests left motel in a.m. No notice was given and there were no signs posted, no orange cones, no yellow tape to indicate this was happening. Worker had put some kind of paint remover on curbs making them so slippery (like thick butter). I left breakfast area and was on way to my room when I stepped on one and fell on my face injuring my nose, forehead, knees, arms, hands, etc. I am a 75 year-old heart patient on coumadin and could have bled to death. I had cuts, abrasions and bruises with internal bleeding from the wounds. The day manager showed no compassion and said it was my fault for stepping on the curbs. Claimed the yellow indicated people were prohibited from stepping on the car curbs. I pointed out that yellow means "caution" only and not "no stepping." It was a very dangerous and hazardous condition and they should be sued for what happened. Apparently, they were using an individual instead of a professional. Apparently, the poor kid who was doing the work did not know better and was given no instruction. My wife had to go into the office to ask for something to put on my wounds and the lady at the desk gave her a bottle of betadine and 2 small band-aids. Fortunately, my wife had large band-aids back at the room and, after I was able to take a shower and clean both the wounds and wash off all the yellow paint that was all over me, my wife used antibiotic ointment which she had and the large band-aids and the 2 smaller ones. The day manager was not one bit interested in my welfare; in fact, he was extremely defensive and said it was my fault for stepping on the "no-step" car curb. I didn't even see the kid who was painting a curb next to where I was until after I slammed into the pavement. Fortunately, I'm a lifelong athlete in good physical condition except for the heart problems or I would have broken bones and more extensive injuries. That day manager should be severely reprimanded and the motel owner should train his staff to handle their clientele in a compassionate manner when injuries occur due to severe negligence on the part of the management of the motel. This could have been a disaster for most people. If the "day manager" is the owner of the motel, EconoLodge should forbid the use of their name. This was a very serious incident and I should and may still file a lawsuit. Both my wife and I were extremely upset and our welfare and feelings would have been considered by most other people. This fellow was nasty and only interested in defending himself. I can't express how upset by this incident and the subsequent behavior that I am and my wife is equally upset and very angry.
