Re: sue hospital for damaging personal belongings while unconcious
Nope there is no law suit. The hospital and staff are covered by the "good samaritian"law. A good samaritian is not lible when he acts on behalf of another who is unable to speak for themselves.
It is a good law which protects those that are willing or have jobs where they come to the aid of others.
