Alright so about a month ago I was going to school in San Francisco, one day while commuting on my bicycle the chain broke, locked up, and I went over the handlebars. I fractured my radius bone and dislocated my wrist. As I was going down another woman behind me on a bike as well went straight to the woman who was in the car I was next to and began yelling at her thinking she hit me. On top of this the woman called the police, fire dept. and ambulance. I got up and walked about 50 feet away to sit on a bench, eventually an officer came to question me and I said I was fine, I had a friend coming down from 2 blocks away to help me out and she would bring me to the hospital. The officer said the ambulance is already coming and I will just take that. I told him i did not want to pay for the ambulance bill and it's only a broken arm, the school I go to has campus safety they could easily pick us up and just drive us there, or at the worst I could walk 4 blocks to the hospital. The officer just kept me there as the EMT arrived and I claimed I didn't need this, they just sort of ignored me, continued doing what they do, and loaded me into the ambulance.
More recently I have been sent the ambulance bill for roughly $1600. Do I have any case here at all for a dispute in claims? I am a student and currently not working at the moment, on top of all this I had to drop classes from my injury and have cannot get anything back from the school, I have to retake the whole semester.
