Something similiar happened to my wife. She took a slip due to the negligence of a resort and broke her ankle. Not once did the resort show concern and took my wife to a hospital. I had to do that myself. Worse yet, the resort at first did not want to admit their negligence. My wife had to go to a specialist hospital for treatment. That was not the worse part. The worse part was her recovery. She had to be on clutches for a few months, had to endure the pain while the bone healed, the agony and suffering she had to go through and her ankle off and on now still suffer pain. Well, we had to threaten with court order before the resort responded. Well, at first they wanted to throw us off-track with legal jargons, that my wife was also at fault, etc, etc. We persevered with what we want... in the end, we were only compensated for all medical charges, travelling costs incurred in getting all medical treatment, basically direct consequential costs/losses. As for her suffering, nothing. Oh yeah, we were only compensated a year later.</blockquote>
