What to do if I was forced to go to the hospital after I twisted and sprained my ankle and I was quickly released?
Question Details: I had been drinking but I wasn't in public (at a friends house) and I'm 21. I refused to go and they told me I'd be forced against my will. I now owe $2500 in bills. Did I have a right to refuse, even if I wasn't a harm to myself or others?
Under the laws of all states in this country you had the right to refuse treatment for your twisted and sprained ankle. However, since you received medical aid you are legally obligated to pay the fair market value of such which seems to be $2,500 from what you have written.
