Is the hospital liable for injury from a patient fall while in the hospital?

Hospitals have a duty to their patients to provide appropriate care to prevent further harm. Hospital are liable for negligence where patients are harmed on the premises due to: an intentional act to harm; a negligent act that causes harm; negligent supervision of hospital staff that leads to patient harm; and failure to comply with laws governing the reporting and management of public diseases and violent injuries.

Courts look at whether the hospital should have foreseen that a patient could be injured due to their employee's negligence. In this case, the hospital employees should have made sure the wet floor was not accessible to their patients, and a hospital could have foreseen that a patient could fall because of the wet floor. From the information given, you seem to have an actionable claim against the hospital.
