Let me guess ...
*Shuler & laserWife didn't pay their rent or mortgage payment;
*Shuler & laserWife got an eviction notice, challenged it and lost;
*Shuler & laserWife refused to move, so the sheriff came to remove them;
*Shuler's laserWife resisted, tripped while on concrete or asphalt and landed on her elbow, breaking bones.
If my guesses are more or less correct, Shuler & laserWife were in the wrong, and had multiple opportunities to prevent laserWife's injury (unknowingly, of course). BTW, unless laserWife suffered a compound fracture or is otherwise in poor health, I think his claim that she will stay in the hospital overnight is dubious. I say this based on a family member having recently fractured an ankle, requiring surgery to install a plate and screws to hold the bone in place as it healed. It was an outpatient surgery, with no hospital stay. OTOH, two months of PT is probably on the high end of realistic.
