Are they responsible for my medical bills?
I was at a local bar. They have poles you can dance around by the dancefloor. I was using one, and there was something sticky on the floor that caused me to injure myself. I ended up with a torn ligament in my knee. I went to the ER immediately, and followed up the next day with urgent care, who then set me up an appointment with orthopedics in a few days.
I did not call the police at the time or anything, but I did tell the bouncer what had happened and I told the ER staff what had happened as well so it's somewhat documented, although I don't know how well it was written down or remembered! (I didn't relaize or know at the time how bad my injury was)
Are they responsible for my injuries and should they pay the medical bills and other expenses related? I'm in a LOT of pain, here, too... this has been a very devastating injury, as I am a very busy and acive person with a busy life with kids! Now I'm in an immobilizing knee brace and crutches! Not fun.
