Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Re: Hospital collection

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You should discuss this with the business manager of the hospital. If the failure to get paid was the fault of the hospital's error, they should absorb the loss. If you have to go to trial, you need to be prepared to prove this with competent evidence, however. Your testimony alone may not be enough to prove your case.
