also if a person leaves the hospitol with an injury that was fixed and does not complain about any other problems, but later on, (weeks later) if they go back to the hospitol and find other injuries associated with the first problem. is the home owner liable for that as well? i mean the new problems could have occured somewhere else, so would that still make the home owner liable to be sued for all the conditions even after leaving the hospitol the night it happened?

Unless you caused the person to faint in the first place, I don't see why you had or have any liability.
Maybe if I feel as though I am getting a heart attack I'll run next door so their insurance will cover me.

No and no. Fainting is something beyond the control of the property owner. As for the second, If the property owner is at fault by leaving a rake in the driveway or something of that effect then the owner is liable for those injuries only but not the first and a good lawyer can make it sound like the second trip to the hospital was due to being released from the hospital prematurely.
Please don't take my word for it, I'm no lawyer but it seems you need to at least talk to a real lawyer.

Why did the person faint? If the fainting was caused be something on the property, the home owner may be liable. If the 'victim' had not eaten for days and fainted as a result, the homeowner is not responsible. As for 'additional injuries' the victim would have to prove they were related to the original incident. I don't know what injuries would be related to fainting that the hospital would fail to notice. But, I'm not a doctor.

Why did the person faint? Do they have some sort of medical problem ? Unless they fell from tripping over lose carpet or fell over something like a small toy, box chair. I would not think that they could sue but these days people will sue over anything. Call your home owner insurance company and ask them they maybe able to help you with this if you give them all the details.

Not unless there was a hazardous condition on your property which caused them to faint and/or get injured. If it happened just because they have a medical problem, they could not hold you responsible.

Don't sweat it. If the person truly fainted in the first place, you have no worries, unless you contributed in some way to the fainting spell.

If the tree blew over in a hurricane, it may be an act of God & no criminal accountability on the area of the home proprietor because of the fact there's no longer something he might have accomplished to stay away from it & no longer something he did to reason it. If the tree in simple terms fell over, a number of greater themes & questions upward push up: a million) in case you felt the tree grew to become right into a threat, did you notify the owner (in writing is often applicable, if no longer completely needed) of this threat; 2) did you do all you may desire to to stay away from the occurrence or loss (shrink limbs putting over your sources, flow threatened sources to stay away from loss); 3) could/might desire to a real looking person (house proprietor) have avoided it from occurring. as much as a house proprietor might desire to shop his sources maintained & shrink risks, endure in suggestions many judges & such are sources proprietors - additionally, there are a number of wood that look 'stay' yet are not & notably plenty purely arborists or such could be waiting to inform it grew to become right into a lifeless tree in the previous it fell. yet regardless -- your sources coverage could very almost truly conceal this difficulty on your deductible. --- And in the event that they might make certain (&coach) somebody else is in charge, they're going to 'subrogate' -- pursue the declare against them as though 'status on your shoes'. you may desire to pursue a case against them your self if so.
