What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I was involved in an off road accident. I was a passenger riding on the back. I suffered injuries. I do not have health insurance, the driver and owner was to help pay the medical bills. They are about $40k+. Now refusing to help pay them after repeated attempts and an offer of discounts, payment plans, and what not. I asked for half of what I have paid, which half is around $4K, the rest are on a payment plan, and I asked for half the payment every month. Can I take the bills and split the ones off that total less than $10K and add residual injury to get it to the $10K small claims court limit to keep it in small claims or would it be dismissed and possibly I couldn't take them to a higher court if I just try for the $10k limit in small claims?
Thanks for any help in advance.
