I fell at a Big Lots store in June of this year. I maintain that the clerk filled the sack with too many items, making it too heavy to lift; and that I may have tripped on a mat, causing me to fall and break my pelvis. In August I started a medical payments only claim with their headquarters in... View More

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If you consulted with an attorney, it's likely they would ask if there was a foreign object in the food, whether you saved the object, the condition of your teeth, and the cost of dental work this caused.

Is there any legal solution I can do.
answered on Oct 9, 2020
Sure, this could be a suit. The problem is the damages do not sound large.
In public, on the corner of an intersection. Handing out pamphlets with our country's constitutional rights, amendments, and advice on how to interact with police in certain situations.

He told me the rest of the money was being held because a lein was put on it .. andy medical bills were 300,000$ and policy only covers to 100,000.

The result you experienced is typical. An attorney is legally required to pay any liens out of the settlement proceeds. In fact, given the amount of the medical bills it is a nod to the attorney's fine work that you were able to recover anything. It sounds as though the attorney was able to... View More

The short answer is no. It does not matter the hospital did with the bill.
To win a medical malpractice claim, the injured person must prove a professional health care provider's treatments departed from the standard of care met by those with similar training and experience.
plantif in this case told the emergency services they were fine when they arrived , refused to share insurance information and was uncooperative

Because you are writing from Florida, you post is being viewed by attorneys who subscribe to Justia posts coming out of Fla., so the odds are against your post reaching a Georgia attorney. Only members of the Georgia Bar may opine on a matter of Georgia law. However, the question of "how... View More

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, these can be difficult cases because the damages are often limited to dental repair/replacement services, and those can sometimes be out of proportion with litigation costs. One option is to contact... View More

If he was a medical person attending to you that would be different. You may be able to press an assault charge if he knew he was... View More
