Legal Question
Pain & sufferingin small claims court?
I manage an orthopedic medical practice. A patient was warned not to place her fingers in a specific spot on our xray table or she could get injured. She placed them there anyway and got two fingers pinched, sustaining a bruise & small laceration. We treated these injuries with first aid and follow up evaluations. There were no complications. 3 days before the 2-year statute expired, the patient filed a small claims lawsuit against our x-ray technician for the max $7500, but did not include the practice or her doctor. Does she have grounds to sue the xray tech, and can she sue for pain & suffering for such an insignificant injury when she has no actual medical bills?
