Yesterday my son was staying at a friends house. When he got up she was gone, but her roommate was there. He took the roommates keys and went across the street to get a soda. When he came back my son went into the wrong side of apartment building, went to the third floor and went to use the key (it was the wrong apartment) and was met by a 300 lb. black man who slugged him in the face. My son said excuse me I have the wrong apartment. The man continued to kick him and beat him until my son threw the keys at him. The man tried the key and said "oh, you were telling the truth." Threw the keys back at my son and told him to get out. My son then made it back down the stairs, back to the right side and up to the third floor where his friend lives. Latter that day her medic friend said that my son had broken ribs and should go to the hospital. The ambulance came, the hospital did indeed say he had 4 broken ribs, a collapsed lung and had busted his front teeth out. He is in the hospital right now. His nurse said he doesn't have a case because of the Make My Day Law. The beating took place solely in the hallway of the apartment building. Does he have a case to get his medical bills paid. He does not have insurance. Please advise.
