[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no requirement to exchange information. And honestly I wouldn’t hand out my contact information to people I don’t know. I mean why did you want it?  [/quote]

If something catastrophic happened I would have asked them to assume some of the cost or I would have asked the facility to do that. I’m not a lawyer or a doctor. It was about optionality…and the physical damage to my head was way worse than any car accident I’ve been in, so somewhere it seemed to make sense to exchange info. [/quote]

And if they had given you details about them, you would have found a way to prove they needed to pay you in some way and hence they protected themselves.  I would have taken your name and number to follow up but not have given you mine.[/quote]

OP said upthread she wasn’t pursuing a police report, which would be how she could shift her ER bill onto either the facility or the family of the child who injured her. She said she only asked the mom for her contact info because the mom came to look for the water bottle her child dropped on OP’s head.

“Found a way” How dumb are you? OP had to go to the ER because a metal water bottle full of water was thrown onto her head from 12 ft above. A good way to not put yourself in the position of potentially paying for someone’s ER bill is to not let your child drop a metal water bottle onto someone’s head.

And you would get the OP’s number so you could what? Call to ask her how she felt about your child giving her a concussion and just missing giving her child a skull fracture? And then wouldn’t she have your contact information, which would defeat the point of you not giving it to OP in the first place. Not too bright are you.
