A medical receptionist can be liable for negligence if they fail to perform their duties with reasonable care, resulting in harm to a patient. Negligence could involve miscommunication, inadequate record-keeping, or failure to follow proper protocols that lead to negative outcomes for the patient.
Every person is Liable for the consequences of their own negligence when another person is injured as a result.
Maybe. It depends on how and why they were injured. You invited them on your property, so you owe them a high duty of care. If they were injured due to a faulty step or a hole in the ground that you should have repaired, you'd be liable. However, if they were injured due to their own negligence, you wouldn't be. For example, if I brought my own chain saw and my own beer onto your property and managed to cut myself while drunk, you probably wouldn't be liable.

It depends. Often health-care professionals, because of their expertise, the interpersonal risks they take, and the ethical duties imposed upon them by their profession, become liable for negligence only at a higher standard; that is they may only be liable for gross negligence or at least less liable for ordinary negligence.
They could be in some cases depending on how and why they were injured and what the relationship and residence status is to he named insured. Your homeowners medical coverage is specific to the named insured(s). Generally this is the home owner and resident family members. If someone else was injured on your property due to the insureds direct actions or through the insureds negligence for which you could be held liable then such an injury would be covered under the liability portion of your homeowners insurance policy. Bear in mind though that a homeowner is not automatically liable for an injury on the property simply because you own it. The injury would first have to be demonstrated as the fault of the insured, otherwise the homeowner is not liable.
No, You are not automatically liable for an injury that occurs on your property simply because you own the property. It does not matter if you owned an object or not on which they person was injured. In order to be held liable you would have to have caused the injury either through direct action or in-action that led to the injury.
Yes, they could be held liable, but only if the negligence is contributable to a loss
They bear no presumption of negligence and are only liable for the dollar value of the erroneous payment that is attributable to their actions.
In reference to law, the word "liable "is the act of being held responsible. for example, when there is a puddle on the flood in a grocery store and there is not a wet floor warning sign, if a customer slips and falls, the company will be held liable for the customers injury expenses.
Depends on your condition
Yep, If you received notification and took no reasonable and prudent action to mitigate a loss you can be held liable through negligence for the damages incurred.
