Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York
Liability
I am being sued for services provided by a Medical Assesment firm during an operation where they did some ancilary work during the operation. They cornered me 10 minutes before going under the knife to sign some paper which I find out later made me liable for whatever portion my insurance didn't pay. My arguement is I was so drugged up at the time that I had no idea what I was signing and surely did not have the capacity to form the necessary intent to be responsible for this service. Am I liable? and can you provide me any New York case law to answer their Motion for Summary Judgenment? Thank you so much

Re: Liability
This is not something that can be worked through in this medium. Its fact specific and somewhat detailed. Its a question of notice and competence, but it should be enough to oppose a motion.
Let me know if you need anything further.
