Exercise 14

Jerome had acupuncture performed on his knee as the result of a football injury. The treatment by the licensed acupuncturist resulted in his getting a severe infection that required medical treatment at a hospital and then several visits to his doctor for additional treatment. Jerome, who had a part-time job, lost several days at work and lost several hundred dollars in pay. He decided to bring a legal action against the acupuncturist for his lost pay. Would his court action be a civil or criminal matter?
