What Causes Fainting Followed By Numbness In The Right Foot?

I was wearing an electronic ankle bracelet when I became unconscious and my husband had to call the ambulance to take me to hospital. When I woke up 5 days later I had no feeling in my right foot. That s the ankle the ankle bracelet was on. I had the spend 3 months in a rehab center leaning how to walk again. Is this a possible liability issue?

Hi

The liability cause will be effective if you can directly establish that you had unconsciousness because of electronic ankle bracelet, which is very unlikely. So it is better to establish the cause of unconsciousness and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
