Hospital Bill!!!

I came into this site missing what exactly happened, but what I gathered from other replies I see you have the following ways to handle this issue:

1) If this incident happened at work, you are intitled to workers comp. If no comp claim was filled, then the company is liable to pay your medical bills.

2) If this incident happened at work, during a crime, then the above statment is again true and the company can file a civil suit against the suspect for reimbursement. You too can file a civil suit against the suspect(or county if no suspect found) for other injuries.

3) If this incident happened anywhere else but work, and was a crime, then you can file suit against the suspect (or county if no suspect found)for all medical bills etc etc.

4) If workers comp was filed and reported inside the 24 hour deadline and they claimed it was a job related injury, and you where on the clock doing your job assignment when this happened, then you are intitled for a OTJ claim and you should seek immediate legal aid.



The only way this would be untrue would be if you where the one commiting the crime.


Like I said, I was left out of the cold on the actual incident, If im wrong it was because of lack of knowledge of the incident... PM me for details and I may be able to assist you to find the correct way to handle this problem.

It happened over time. It was not a direct result from work. Neurosurgeon and Chiropractor and Orthopedic all state that it was a long standing issue that just got worse over time. So basically I can't file worker's comp, I tried finding a way for it but wa sunsuccesful. Only thing I can get is disability insurance which I am getting but it does not cover medical bills. While my work could have caused it, neither of the doctors are willing to blame so or say so. They just say it was long standing issue, that even possible from birth, according to the MRI tech report. [:(] I shall await the call from Harbor UCLA and see what's up.

I still think it sucks Slap ...

On the phone with them now! I give details afterwards [:O]

I have seen people come in hospitals and pay $1 a week on huge medical bills, and if the hospital receptionist accepts the payment, they can not turn it into the credit company unless you miss the payment. Now each state has different laws on this, but something to look into. However in this case it will take 36.6 years to pay it off.

They are sending someone over to my house to work out something. They come tomorrow [:)] I let them know my status so maybe a payment plan will be worked out, after all, it is a UCLS branch hospital.

I know what your feeling wws!I am in the same situation.I have diabeetes and it is effecting my eye site.After seeing a half dozen doctors and spending thousands of dollars.I am still leagaly blind 20/100 and 20/400 eye site.

Sorry about that dude, 19k is about an average anuall salary isnt it?
Oh dear.

What do you want to say with that? Shouldn't he eat, drink and LIVE for a whole year? Just work and pay off???

[Oscar]

Alright ladies and gentlemen. The dirt has settled. I'll skip the details of what went on but after the negotiations and paper signing, I now owe slightly under $2,000 due in one year's time. Since I was injured while working for you guys, you have to pay my bill. hyyyper has sent in his $50, if everyone else sends in $50 each, I can pay the bill and retire for the remander of the year.
Thank you. [8)]
