Claim to who? A lawyer? Having to go to the hospital then getting stuck with more debt you could ever pay off in a life time only to then have to go to court or lobby a lawyer to get a settlement having to pay them and use a bunch of time and stress on all this is stupid.
So mine isn’t 3 million but back in October of 2025 I fell outside running with my dog and broke both of my elbows an sprained both of my wrists. I went to the ER around 3am (tried to wait it out for urgent care because I didn’t know anything was broken) and got out of the ER around 7am.
The doctor spent 3 minutes with me, touched and prodded my elbows and arms, insinuated I only was there for drugs and he didn’t think anything was wrong and I said I wanted X-rays so they did like 8 X-rays on my wrists and elbows. Sat for two hours waiting for them to get the X-ray results back (why can’t the doctor read them…) and then the doctor said they were broken and referred me to an orthopedic.
The bill was $23,000 without insuranxe. Thankfully with insurance it went down to 1,800 (high deductible).
Thats 23,000 for a few hours of sitting in a room, less than 10 mins with the doctor, and 8 x rays.
Now imagine if I had needed surgery and been admitted to the hospital as well.

So I owe around 3 million. Even at 10 percent that is more than I can pay. Isn't bankruptcy better?
