Re: sue hospital for damaging personal property?

your best bet is to take up this case with the small claims court, you will have to do all the filing and appear in court on your own... it will not be particularly difficult...

it will not be worth you paying someone to assist you with this as the amount of money you would win in a lawsuit would be MUCH less that what you would be billed by an attorney...

MUCH LUCK!
