What is the name of your state? CA

I am in the Angels Booster Club, and as part of the club's duties, we pass out the promotional goodies at the gates when the guests arrive. This past Wednesday, while working, I needed to use the restroom and fell down due to a water puddle that looked like it was just big enough to be from a melted ice cube. When I fell, I couldn't get up and was picked up by the stadium's first aid staff in their "ambulance" and seen by the first aid doc there.

I did have further pain on the way home, and went to the Emergency Room.

While the injury I sustained is NOT major, I am stuck in a knee immobilizer (this is a brace that keeps your leg straight at all times) for at least the next week, which is making my life miserable. I do not have a "regular" job, so the injury is not interfering with a paying position somewhere.

Now.. my questions are as follows:

1) is the stadium responsible for my medical bills?

2)Will I need a lawyer to make sure that these bills will be paid?

Thanks for any information.
