i suggest you make an appt asap with a local attorney specializing in negligence.

the first thing you should do is set up a consultation with a local criminal lawyer, and if you can't afford one ask for a public defender.

answered on Oct 4, 2022
the get the correct answer, i suggest you ask your lawyer who has all the info
I assume this was the medical bills for your treatment on a lien, meaning the med facility would be paid when your case was resolved.

it sounds like they were in the wrong.
However, I encourage you to contact a local attorney to investigate all the facts to determine if there is a case AND if it has enough value to take on a contingency.

CONTACT A LOCAL LABOR LAW ATTORNEY TO SET UP A CONSULTATION.
YOU WILL PROBABLY CONTACT OSHA, BUT GET ADVICE FROM A LABOR LAW ATTORNEY FIRST.
