Can you sue a hospital and staff for assault?
929091
it depends... was you a threat to the hospital staff? if you were No you can't... and most likely you couldn't anyways because they will have an legal reason for doing so and the proof of them lieing lies on your shoulders and if you can not prove any different then  you are just SOL>.....

I hate to say this but I doubt there is much you can do. The first thing I would do is talk to a good lawyer. They have what is called a medical lock for someone on oxygen and or medical equipment this should have been gotten before this occured.(it is up to the customer to get this from the electric company and dr) The guy who cut it off knew this. However, I would still try and sue. You can also file a complaint with PUCT. just google that. A lawyer is the one who can sue though. Good luck! The greedy jerks.

I'd be willing to bet the client and then if the injured wins the lawsuit they might be able to claim the costs of reports under the settlement in addition to the hotel paying hospital fees, court fees, yadda yadda yadda. I'm not a lawyer or anything near it, but that just makes sense. I have no education about Jamaican law though, if you were visiting them, you're on their turf and therefor play by their rules for the most part! Unless it was the US Embassy:)

You can't sue anybody for MRSA, since you do not have the infection. Your friend may be able to sue, and depending on his age and employment/earning capacity, may find one of the big personal injury/malpractice law firms interested in taking the case.\n\nThe problem is showing it was the doctor/hospital's negligence that caused the infection or let it grow to the point it has.\n\nStaph aureus is common, and the MRSA is present in almost every human body, especially if the person has ever been admitted to a hospital in the last 40-50 years.\n\nCumin oil as a topical antibacterial is quite old, but its use for an infection inside the body seems a little strange.

Your question is lacking. If you have retained a lawyer its possible that he feels its not "winable" or not enough in it for him. When in the hospital your girlfriend probably signed a release. This release protects the hospital from any suit you my bring. Unless you can PROVE Malpractice/Negligence on the hospital, it will not even get to court. Sorry, it happens everyday.

Dear Friend,\n\nIt's possible.  You need to have a consultation with a plaintiffs' personal injury lawyer.  Many will give you a free first consultation.\n\nYours in Him,\nFrancesois

Absolutely not. Most medical facilities are not allowed to refuse treatment to you even if you cannot pay. Though depending on the circumstance, they may be able to refuse to set another appointment until payment is made (i.e. the dentist)\nI imagine that this facility is using this as a sort of "scare tactic" to prevent people from not paying. However, you are entitled to have a certain amount of time to make a payment. If you cannot make the payment in full you are entitled to make a payment arrangement. If you are sending them a reasonable amount of money each month to try an pay off your bills, they cannot even take you to court over the issue. If they harass you for a higher payment which you are unable to make you can accuse them of harassment.\nIt seems like so many companies try to bully people these days. Please know your rights when it comes to your bills. \nYou are protected under the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. Though these laws apply to collection agencies, I am certain they would also apply to anyone trying to collect a debt, including your hospital.\nCheck out the link below.

You can definitely sue them for this.It was a complete violation of your patient rights and the law gives you the space to do so.I would contact a personal injury attorney first to see if they can help you if not they should be able to recommend one for u.\n\nGood luck with this and I'm sorry this happened to you.

Sounds like there is more to your story. Police don't just do things like that. Mental Hospitals don't just admit someone without some sort of better reasons. The burden of proof is on them. Retain a lawyer or fight dirty too.

I work in a nursing home and I'm a mandory reporter of abuse. The police can not always help. You need to get a hold of Department of Human Services in your area

You have a legal responsibility to act with the standard of care similar to an average professional nurse of similar experience and education.\n\nIf you think you acted improperly, speak to your supervisor and to the legal department of your employer.  Your professional nursing association may also have resources to help.\n\nAnd yes, you should carrt professional liability insurance - occurrence rather than claims-made if it is available.

if you call the local hospital's emergency room there is a nurse on staff that should be able to answer your question correctly and quickly

If there was any question about her advance directive, the hospital was correct to save her life.  In order to win the lawsuit, she'll have to prove that the hospital knew of her advance directive (as well as the doctor who saved her) and willfully violated the directive.\n\nWithout that, she doesn't stand a chance.

You have to prove the infection was caused by the metal. Since one was OK, why would the other one not be?\n\nIf you are young and will have permanent damage caused by the infection, any personal injury lawyer will take your case.\n\nIf you are old or retired, they may not consider it worth their time. Then you may have to pay a lawyer a retainer to take your case.\n\nOr you can send the hospital a letter explaining what happened and what you want them to do about it. They'll turn it over to their insurance company and will tell you if they will compensate you or not. You'll get a third more if you have a lwyer, but the lawyer will take a third.
