QUESTION

Injured.....now what?

Asked on Mar 24th, 2022 on Personal Injury - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
On New Year's Eve I was at a party at a house and the homeowner's sister asked me to try her Oculus Virtual Reality Game. I had never tried it before so I put it on and the scene that was playing in the game was a high rise building that the elevator door opens at 30 stories and you are to "walk the plank"....I didn't want to continue so I said, "I can't do this".....and then at that moment, the owner of the game sneaks up behind me and pushes me. In my mind I am then falling 30 stories and I fell down and broke my entire ankle including my tibia, fibula and I blew out the ankle joint. I had 2 surgeries and now have 13 screws and 2 plates in my ankle. I have the entire event on video clearly showing her pushing me. I still cannot walk. My question is, how do I get her to pay for my medical bills? I do NOT want the homeowner involved (homeowners insurance) and I do not want to sue her but I do want her to pay for the medical bills. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

If you are hoping that a fellow invitee, not the homeowner, will voluntarily pay your medical bills, the simple solution is to ask the person to do so.  However, I would be surprised if the person agrees.  Moreover, if you do indeed make a claim against the person, he or she will likely bring the homeowner into it as there may be home insurance to cover it.     I trust this answers your questions, and, if you live in the Delaware Valley, feel free to call or email on a free initial basis.    Best Regards,   Matthew R.
