More details to this question:
My mother is law is a Canadian citizen who injured herself at our house and broke her hip on her first day here. The hospital is hounding us to pay them, but it is my understanding that the Canadian medical should cover this. Do we legally owe for services, she is not a resident but my wife is. Which type of attorney can I consult with about this?

Hello. Yes, your mother inlaw's insurance should take care of her bills, not you. Was there a defective condition at your house that caused the injury, like a broken tile, raised crack/step that was not obvious/marked? If so, your homeowner's insurance would be responsible for paying for her injuries/bills, and you should submit a claim to insurance on her behalf for that.
