No. The customer would have to prove negligence on the part of the restaurant. It’s a difficult claim to prove as far as the legal elements are concerned.
Thank you. This accords with the final part of @mkt's follow-up response. It seems the way to go in such instances is to try to involve the establishment's insurance company rather than a lawyer.
An attorney should always be the last resort. And I say this as somebody who counts on an attorney salary for a large part of their household income.
I have receipts at Raglan Road, as well as a voice mail from the mgr after he took my son's phone number, medical record including an EMS , receipt from my visit that night.
I just received a form from Cigna asking for the commercial property's insurance information. I don't know who to list. I cannot get to anyone! I only know my neck is broken, I am in a LOT of pain with no assurance the halo will work. HELP me navigate this mess if you have the expertise. I am a newly retired school teacher and am not interested in a big settlement from anyone.
If you’re going through your own medical insurance, Cigna is likely asking for Raglan’s insurance information for subrogation purposes. Raglan should have reported this to its own liability insurer and Cigna also should be working to get that information in addition to asking you for it. But all this is just speculation on a public Disney forum. It’s really not the right place to come for this type of advice.
You are right, and regardless of if they were legit or not, I guess this has been an informative thread non the less.
If they DID contact a lawyer, the first words out of their mouth would be "Quit blogging about this."
No kidding. But I totally understand the frustration, especially at the beginning of the process.
Yep, I was forgetting having to pay out of your own pocket for healthcare was a thing in the US
We don't have it as good as in Canada. its a foreign term to Canadians when USA healthcare has to select doctors in network and the more expensive out of network doctors.Yep, I was forgetting having to pay out of your own pocket for healthcare was a thing in the US
I am a Florida attorney. Other than your statement that the burden is on the Plaintiff to prove negligence, the remainder of your post is entirely and completely inaccurate.
If negligent then the lawyer will build the plaintiff's case to look and collect that payout.
It's not just the doctors though. Especially with things like this. They really really get you. For example, after my stroke I went to an ER that was in network and saw a stroke neurologist that was in network. So stupid me thought it would all be in network. But I didn't account for one nurse that took my blood pressure was visiting from a different hospital and she was out of network, and the guy that administered the contrast for my scan was also out of network. And btw the hospital had two labs they could run my blood through ON SITE and one was in network and the other was out of network.
