Marianna, FL Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

It probably is the case that the parents of the boy that was injured is responsible for the medical bill. You would have to show that the boy who hit the injured boy was negligent in some way for him or his parents to be responsible. That does not sound like the case here. However, most homeowners' policies have coverage for something called med-pay, which covers medical bills no matter who is at fault or even if no one is at fault. You should speak to the homeowner of the place where in the injury occurred and find out about their insurance coverage for this.

The amount given for pain & suffering, in just about every personal injury case (including yours), really depends on several factors, which include but, are not limited to the following: the nature, extent & severity of injuries; the amount of medical bills & lost wages you have incurred; your age; and, so on. Using such information, your lawyer (that is, assuming that you have hired one to handle your case) should be able to give you some idea of the average pain & suffering amount that individuals in cases, such as yours, should expect. However, in the event that you have not hired an attorney to assist you with your case, and fight for pain & suffering damages because you better believe that an insurance company that you are dealing with on your own is not going to make it easy for you to collect for such damages then I highly recommend that you do so as soon as possible. And, since most personal injury attorneys, like myself, offer free consultations, you have absolutely no reason not to call right now. (Your injuries are way too serious to being putting your right to compensation in the hands of the other party.)

The gym is responsible for your injury only if their negligence caused it and you were not negligent in any degree. There is no guarantee that you will not be hurt in a gym or anywhere else. You have to look out for yourself and you undertake certain risks in places like gyms.
