Livingston, TX asked in Personal Injury and Health Care Law for Texas

Q: I was put in a choke hold by a nurse in the ER while trying to step outside, which aggravated existing neck problem.

I'm in Texas, I was at hospital voluntarily, stepped out to smoke a cig earlier, and was going to come right back like the first time, but a nurse came up from behind me and put me in a choke hold.

A: A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One option is to reach out to attorneys in Texas to try to set up a free initial consult. Such free consults are the norm with injury cases nationwide. Any attorney reviewing the incident would want more detail - if a law firm expressed interest in representing you, they would want to conduct a detailed investigation. Good luck
