Duty to Pay Medical Bills Caused By Employer
Hello again! I made a post here a few weeks ago titled "Can they do that?", and I have a follow up question.
Since I was fired, there has been no contact between myself and my former employment, and things have calmed down. Granted I am stressed because of trying to find a job, otherwise I'm ok. But over the past couple days, I have been getting medical bills in the mail. The bills are addressed to me as means to collect payment of medical charges from the Hospital stay I had when I was fired. The only reason I had to go to the Hospital was because my boss called the police and they took me there. Plus to make it worse, I have no Medical Insurance. So far with the bills I have received (I'm scared to check today’s mail in fear of finding more) for the Ambulance ride and part of the visit, the amount is about $2000, and the evaluations from the psychologists part of the bill hasn't even been added on yet! :?
Basically what I am asking is do I have to pay these bills (keep in mind I have no insurance) or do I send them to my former boss since he made the call for me to go there? If I do send them to him, how do I do that to be sure he gets them? Certified Mail? Any comments or feedback is greatly appreciated!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
RE: Do I have to pay these?
Any recomendations on what I should say upon asking my former employer to pay these? I'm sure that there is somthing better than what I want to say which is... "Your the jerk that had the cops take me to the hospital, so you pay these bills!!!
