[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personal injury issue.  I posted elsewhere that I just stayed in an Airbnb from hell, which included my husband withstanding an electrical shock from a hot tub -
just his hand - he was checking the temperature.  We obviously didn’t get in.

This morning at urgent care the EKG indicated he was having a heart attack (!), they transported him to the ED in an ambulance where everything turned out fine, but the ED doctor referred him to a neurologist to double check on the tingling/numbness he’s had in his hands since and the dizziness he’s experienced.

We’ve additionally discovered that this hot tub was installed without a permit, and the Airbnb is operating without approval as a short-term rental, despite a county requirement to do so.

My dad has a severe electrical shock years ago (it was his fault, he was welding on a tractor on his farm, tractor tire had a fluid leak he had not noticed, tire fluid was highly conductive). Afterwards his heart rate jumped to over 200 and my mom drove him to emergency (faster than ambulance in rural area).

A year later he had a massive heart attack that left him with significant damage and congestive heart failure, leading to him dying suddenly at age 68.

Sounds like your husband's shock was less severe (my dad was "stuck" to the tractor and my mom had to pull a main power switch to release him; it went on for some minutes). It would probably be very hard to prove connection in your case depending on what working before and after the incident happened.

Sounds like you called local authorities since you learned about the lack of permit.
