I received medical care in an emergency room for what turned out to be a sprained ankle and asked up front what the cost would be. They stated they weren't sure, but guessed that if it was a sprain and not a break it would be around $400 or less. So, I agreed to services and received a bill for over $800 from the hospital and one for over $200 from the emergency physicians supposidly for the three minutes of "care" I received from the doctor. I feel after reveiwing the itemized bill that I have been overcharged. I decided to sue them for the charges I feel are overly priced. I will have to defend my position in court being that I cannot afford a lawyer. I was wondering what I could use with regard to the law to state my case. Unfortunately, at the time of the accident, I was three days before the initiation of my company insurance, so I am paying for all of this myself. Any legal advice would be appreciated.
