Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Hello,

I am a French intern with a J1-Visa.

Yesterday, I was in a nightclub in San Francisco. There is a 5 feet stage in the club where people can dance on it. I was dancing on it not far from the edge when somebody pushed in the back... I heavily fell on my back. I manage to stand up but soon had to sit as the pain was really bad. I had a small loss of feeling in my right leg and so was really scared of having something bad. A bouncer/medic from the nightclub came and had a look. He did not call an ambulance and my friend had to bring mo to emergencies to check my back.

There, I had xrays and test and they said I should be ok (nothing is broken). They said me the nightclub should have called an ambulance. The police came but I was in the xray room when they arrived and they could not stay long as they had an emergency.

I called my Visa sponsor to report that. My insurance will call me tomorrow (Monday). I will probably have to pay a few hundreds dollars of copay...

I do not really know what I should do. I am really surprised there was no security "fences" on the stage and the fact somebody pushed me disturbs me.

Thanks,
