Uninsured - medical injury while vacationing - help


What is the name of your state? in Georgia


Hello - need your advice:

I was injured while on vacation in Jamaica. I opened the refrigerator in the hotel room and a soda bottle fell out and cut my toe amongst other minor cuts on my feet and legs.

After bleeding for nearly an hour while waiting for medical attention, the hotel nurse came to my room to topically treat my toe. The nurse couldn't provide the necessary stitches, so an outside doctor was called to perform that procedure.

How do I handle this? I am uninsured -medical insurance coverage expired a few months ago.

The fridge was stocked by the resort - it was not properly stocked which is why the soda fell out in the first place. The doctor expects me to pay. And I expect the hotel to pay both me and the doctor's fees, plus any follow-up medical care. What are my rights and how can/should I handle it from here?

Also, does this fall under the Personal Injury Law -or- Medical/Insurance category -or- elsewhere??

I don't know which way to turn --
