what are my legal rights as a person who suffered a head injury at a local church?

You still have the same legal rights as anyone else.  They don't take them away because you have an accident.

You need to be proactive in this situation, not reactive. I would immediately seek the counsel of your clergy and an attorney to protect your children and your assets.

Pray for the church first of all. Get involved. I don't know if you are or not, but if not, there is not a whole lot you can do.

I don't know but if any of it is a federal offense you might want to contact the FBI.\nYears ago, before the government dropped the case against me, I took my daughter out of the country when the courts had jurisdiction over her and the FBI was after me then.\nHope you get some sort of justice, especially for your child.\nAnyways contact a lawyer, they might work for free ( I doubt it though).\nThere are also legal aid offices you can look up on the internet (for your community).\nIf you start filing court papers yourself the state might become embarrassed and get involved.  Can you have the papers (forms) sent to you from the place where the crimes took place and get them notarized and sent back?  But you would have to appear for the hearings(s) and trial.\nAre you a Christian?  Pray to God the Father in Jesus' name, don't forget about the Power of the Holy Spirit. Read the New Testament, it has all the answers and is not a long Book.  Start off with John 3:16 and put your name where it says whosoever, then ask Jesus into your heart and to forgive you of your sins, then ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit.  I know this sounds hard and crazy but isn't your situation the same?  It's easy to do, if it were hard no one could do it.

YOU DO have rights in this situation, contact a lawyer.

Wow. Tricky situation. I feel for you. \n\nAre you able to find out about previous similar incidents at the school at what happened to the people involved? Or other schools, to work out what the precedent is in these cases.\n\nI wonder if the Citizen's advice bureau might be able to offer\nsome advice? \n\nYour point that you haven't been trained to deal with situations is a good one. At the end of the day, you only swore, no one got hurt. Sounds as if this is the first time you've been involved in anything like this, and, if you've put up with all the knocks and bangs from before you must be pretty devoted to the job. I hope they'll be lenient. \n\nGood luck.

As I found out after I was hit by a bus (Yes, ouch.) the insurance company does their thing and gets as much money for you as they can.  After that you can take them to court for any remaining loses or out of pocket expenses, and for the amount of money you're talking about it would be in Small Claims Court in California, check your locale for local rules.  No lawyers are allowed there, you're on your own.  Go to the county courthouse and/or its website for instructions. Remember, you have to show REAL damage, not just being angry or wanting to hurt them.  Think about it first, or the Judge will make you feel like an idiot.

Look in the Yellow Pages under Churches and call them all.  They have the money set aside for such emergencies.  You don't have to be a member - just in need of services.....)(

ALL Praise to God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.\nI believe that happened.\nI seen almost the same thing on a show called Miracles. A young girl was struck by a car and the dad picked her up out of the street and put her in the front yard. Then all these people, about 20 or so came around the girl and started praying. There was an indentation on her fore head from where the girl hit the road. While they were praying the indentation came out, right in front of their eyes. The girl was taken to the hospital and the x-rays showed no damage at all. She is still doing fine and they interviewed her on the show.\nOnce again praise God in ALL His Glory.\nGreat question.\nAll of God's Blessings, Guidance and Love to you and your loving family

First priority is medical attention, one can wait a very long time for the police to show. \nTell the medical staff what you know as to how he received the injuries. He will have to deny or admit as to how he received them.\nGet your parents involved now.

There isn't really a "law", you have to describe what happened.  If they did this and you were injured as a result, you have a tort claim.  But you cannot just sue someone for doing something dangerous if no one was injured.

Just remember, if people with disabilities do not have equal rights, in this case, a parking issue, then it is discrimination. If there is no parking for handicapped people, then the church is in violation of the law. \n\nA question of street parking deals with the local town/city offices. Ask them for more information. A simple phone call should do.

call any lawyer in the phone book.  Most could handle the job.  Yes, you have a right to sue.  You might want to check into the process of "small claims court".  I don't believe you'll need a lawyer then -- it's a more relaxed court (you just tell your side of the story to the judge).
