Regular launderettes offer to clean your clothes. However, first rate laundry services make sure that your items are treated in the best way possible. They consider client satisfaction as a requirement and they uses different ways to get it. Some of these are:
Preserving fabric quality. A shop that offers good laundry service classifies the items that they service so that each are washed in its proper setting. For example, silks are washed differently from lyocells. This kind of handling is necessary to ensure that all the items are kept in good condition. It is also a very good method to make sure that fabrics will last longer and look its best.
Proper handling of items. Laundry services with good standards operate in clean surroundings. They keep their premises free of dust, dirt or any other materials that may sully the clients' clothes. They also do not allow smoking so that the items retain its fragrance from the wash. Additionally, quality laundry service is done by trained personnel who take all the necessary steps to care of the clients' items.
Be efficient and timely. Time translates to resources, and the sooner the items are returned to the clients the better. A good launderette can perform its washing services at a minimum of three hours per visit. They do the job as soon as possible for the convenience of the client and also to get more jobs done, a mark of a serious business. Good and professional launderettes can also provide same-day collection and return services to even bulky items like rugs and carpets.
Competitive rates. All clients want services that are worth what they are paying. Some launderettes may offer services at a cheap price but have a shoddy output. But on the other hand, high price may not always mean quality service. So what you would like to look for is a launderette that gives quality service at the minimum price.
Offer a variety of services. A mark of good laundry service is that they can clean not only different types of clothes, but also different items. They can also provide their services to a variety of clients, including offices, public houses, nurseries, salons, restaurants, and businesses of different types. Being able to supply laundry services to various clients is an indication that a shop already has a lot of experience in the business and can accommodate whatever requests may be given to it.
The other day, a client was telling me a story. While trying to describe somebody's personality, he said this:
"She's the type of person that will find fault in everything you do. If you push her off the tracks just seconds before she is about to be struck by a speeding locomotive, she'll sue you for bruising her leg and soiling her clothes."
And that reminded me of New York's Good Samaritan law, today's topic.
Common Law: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Generally speaking, there is no duty to come to the aid of somebody that has been in an accident and in need of emergency medical assistance. However, not long ago, if you attempted to render medical assistance to somebody and botched the rescue, chances were you would be sued. Therefore, educated bystanders wouldn't dare attempt a rescue.
Since the common law discouraged bystanders from attempting to render medical assistance to those in need, the legislature, recognizing this result was both unacceptable and undesirable, enacted in 2000 what 샌즈카지노 is generally referred to as the Good Samaritan law.
Effect of the Law
New York's Good Samaritan law carves out specific circumstances when an individual shall not be held liable for ordinary negligence in attempting to render medical assistance. Instead, they will only be held liable in cases of gross negligence.
Gross Negligence
Simply put, negligence is a failure to exercise ordinary care. Gross negligence means a failure to use even slight care, or is conduct that is so careless as to show complete disregard for the rights and safety of others.
When it Applies
The law isn't found in one centralized part, but rather integrated into various provisions of the NY Public Health Law and the NY Education Law.
Importantly, New York's Good Samaritan law is limited to medical treatment or assistance. The heart of the law is found in Pub. Health Law §3000-a, which provides in part:
Any person who voluntarily and without expectation of monetary compensation renders first aid or emergency treatment at the scene of an accident or other emergency outside a hospital, doctor's office or any other place having proper and necessary medical equipment, to a person who is unconscious, ill, or injured, shall not be liable for damages for injuries alleged to have been sustained by such person or for damages for the death of such person alleged to have occurred by reason of an act or omission in the rendering of such emergency treatment unless it is established that such injuries were or such death was caused by gross negligence on the part of such person.
Voluntary Act; No Expectation of Monetary Compensation
An important theme here is that the person act both voluntarily, and without the expectation of monetary compensation. This is significant because the protection extends to dentists (Educ. on Law §661[6]), physicians (Educ. Law §6527[2]), nurses (Educ. Law §6909[1]), physicians assistants (Educ. Law §6547) and physical therapists (Educ. Law §6737), provided they are not in a place having proper and necessary medical equipment, and are not rendering their professional or licensed services in the ordinary course of their practices.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and Epinephrine Auto-Injector (Epi-pen) Devices
The law is somewhat different, however, for emergency health care providers, or those persons or entities that purchase or make available Automated External Defibrillator (AED) devices, or Epinephrine Auto-Injector devices. In those cases, the emergency health care provider, person or entity, shall not be held liable for the use of that equipment if a person voluntarily and without expectation of monetary compensation renders first aid or emergency medical treatment, and shall also not be held liable for the use of defectively manufactured equipment.
However, the law expressly states it shall not limit claims against the emergency health care provider, person or entity that purchased or made available that equipment from its own negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Pub. Health Law §3000-a(2). See, also, Pub. Health Law §3000-b (Automated External Defibrillators) and Pub. Health Law §3000-c (Epinephrine Auto-Injector).
Go Ahead, Be a Hero
Once again, it is safe to play superhero, but remember to use at least ordinary care.
(NOTE: Emergency medical technicians and volunteer ambulance services are subject to more technical provisions under Pub. Health Law §3013.)
