3 years ago I was in a relationship. He was abusive, did some really deplorable things I found about later. I made a report, got a restraining order, and haven't spoken to him or anyone that knows him in 3 years.
A week ago he was in an accident. His phone was destroyed/could not be accessed but he had some information in his wallet. He still had me as his emergency contact. I was not aware he had added me as his emergency contact at any point.
I got a call Monday from an unknown number, it was someone from a hospital. They started telling me my ex was in a serious accident - I immediately cut them off and said "I don't care who this is, do not contact me again". They called back and asked if I could help them get in contact with someone else (at least I think that's what they wanted, I didn't let them finish) I cut them off pretty fast and said "I don't care, I hope he dies, do not contact me again" and hung up again.
His sister (we were friendly but I cut contact after the break-up) messaged me yesterday only letting me know that their family hired a lawyer to sue me for refusing to take the hospital's call, causing a delay in his treatment. He also had some allergies and medical details they didn't know about which caused complications and skyrocketed his medical bills. I had no idea about either.
Am I in any kind of trouble here?

Ex got a restraining order against you? Just list them as your emergency contact and then get into a serious accident, then you can have the hospital harass them on your behalf! All for the low low price of an insurance deductible and some potential life-changing injuries!

At least she didn't do anything malicious.
"Just amputate it!"
"Ma'am, he's got a head injury."

Wouldn't this all be the fault of the idiot who never bothered updating his wallet info? Especially given he's got medical issues relevant to trauma care?
