Personal injury covers any wrong or damage done to another in his person, property, rights, or reputation. Injuries can happen at work, in a traffic accident, because of a faulty product or a faulty repair, because of a mistake during medical treatment, or because you slipped and fell on pavement or on a wet floor. The injury can be physical or psychological, but, to have a case, it must occur due to the negligence or unreasonably unsafe actions of your employer, a manufacturer, your doctor, your landlord, or some other person or organization who owes you a duty of ordinary care. Examples of personal injury law causes of action include professional malpractice, wrongful birth, wrongful death, libel or slander, trespass, and nuisance.
If you think you may have a personal injury case, please contact a personal injury lawyer or personal injury attorney.

| I got injured in the bathroom of a public courthouse. A person who was at the scene had asked me if I needed medical assistance and I explicitly told this person that I did not. Despite my wishes, the person called 911 anyway and I was transported to the hospital and treated in the ER.
I now have over $3000 in bills and counting (I have no insurance) that I''m on the hook for. Since I refused treatment to begin with, would I still be legally liable for these bills or would this burden fall on the person who called against my will? Would I have any recourse in this situation? It''s interesting to note here that neither the court bailiffs nor building security or maintenance have any record of the incident. It sounds like negligence on somebody''s part.
I should mention here that I had been drinking earlier in the day, however I was still perfectly coherent at the time I had refused medical assistance from the person who subsequently called 911. |
