Automatic doors should have safety devices to prevent them from closing if you have not cleared the door's threshold. Sometimes, these electronic safety devices malfunction or are installed incorrectly. We would need to investigate the incident to determine what brand and type of safety devices were installed and to determine why those devices did not prevent your injury. We sould also see if the door had a history of malfunctions and whether the hospital had performed needed maintenance.
