7-year-old slides on scooter in Corona hotel – lawsuit filed
Posted: Tue Jul 01, 2025 10:08 am
Ch. was seven years old when she went through the experience of recovering from the coronavirus, along with her family, as part of the Home Front Command's coronavirus hotels that were set up across the country.
As you may recall, most of them served the Haredi population. She is now suing the Home Front Command after she claims they did not do what they were supposed to do to prevent the injury she suffered at the scene, from which she still suffers today.
Despite the obvious need and complaints from residents, no remove background image cleaning company was hired for the building and no solution was given to the dirt and trash that had accumulated. At a certain point, the survivors decided to take action themselves, and several of them washed the floor themselves.
Minutes after they finished washing, and without her knowing it, C. passed by on a small scooter on her way to the family rooms. The slippery tiles were no match for the scooter's wheels, which quickly skidded across the floor, causing the dish to tip over and C. to fall to the wet ground.
The crying skyrocketed, and when the people around her and the family members who were called saw that the girl was not calming down, they realized that something serious had probably happened. An ambulance was called and she was evacuated to Poriya Hospital in Tiberias, where she was diagnosed with a fractured right femoral neck. From there she was transferred to Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv, where it was determined that she was suffering from sensitivity and pain with every movement of the hip joint. Since then, she has been undergoing a long series of treatments.
In a lawsuit filed by Attorney Nathaniel Roth, who specializes in tort and negligence law, to the Bat Yam Magistrate's Court against the Home Front Command that operated the hotels, he alleges gross negligence in the absence of an official and organized cleaning company that ultimately resulted in the creation of a hazard in the form of a wet floor without proper warning and protection, and therefore he is required to compensate the victim for all of her direct and indirect damages.
It should be noted that this is the first time that the court will address the question of the Home Front Command's responsibility for events that occurred inside the Corona motels. The ruling is very intriguing and has far-reaching implications for a wide range of events that have occurred there since the motels began operating two years ago, when until today they had no clear address.
