I have to file a claim for an injury.just a few questions?

ACL injury
Tanya asked:


January I tore my acl at an NHL game. I was getting to my seat and while stepping up my knee twisted and snapped. I just had reconstructive acl surgery and the costs are starting to add up. When I’m done with therapy the total will be around 700 dollars. I filed an injury report when it happened and they know about it. Question is, what are my chances of them paying me the 700 dollars. I have great insurance and what I’ve paid is just copays and my 2 therapy visits. I’ve talked to insurance company and they’re going to send me my claim history and everything I’ve paid in, and that’s what I’m going to send. Thanks :) There were 2 rather large gentlemen at the end of my row who weren’t able to get up and let me through, and the other end was blocked off by a security bar.

Since there were empty seats I feel they should have moved these men to a less full row. Since no usher helped me to my seat, I feel this is where the negligence was.

If 700 is not that much to you, then feel free to pay my bill and brown bag it for lunch this month.

thank you for all the responses

Need help//what is this injury called?

ACL injury
Eclipse asked:


Can someone please help me evaluate what type of knee injury occured to me? Was it ACL, tendonitis, etc..

Okay, about 3 months ago, i was playing soccer for my team and i made a sharp turn and my right knee had a “giving out.” but from what i remember, i didnt hear anything. But, i kept on playing the game even though i had great pain in my knee. When i got home, my knee was VERY swollen and it was so for the next few weeks[it felt like there was fluid in it], and i couldn’t make it straight without it hurting badly and when i would walk, i would feel random giving out feelings in my knee when i made my leg straight even a little.

All help is GREATLY appreciated!!
