When I was born, I had a transesophageal fistula, in which I had surgery to repair it just after I was born. The nurse/doctor never turned me over onto my other side after the surgery was done and I lost circulation in my earlobe, so they had to cut away half of my ear. My parents decided to sue and there was a settlement for 15,000 annually for 4 years when I turn 18 (next month). I don’t think this settlement was fair considering the psychological issues in having had to deal with a deformed ear and it still is very troubling in my daily life. Is it at all possible to sue again or get more money? Thanks for your time.

I am a victim of legal malpractice in an auto accident case where another driver rear ended me. My attorney did not tell me my case was being investigated for fraud by the other driver’s insurance company. (He had his assistant email me a request to come into his office under the ruse that the other driver’s insurance agent just wanted to ask me a few questions. When I arrived at his office, he told me my case was being investigated.) He also failed to negotiate my medical bills to an amount lower than the limit of the other driver’s policy. The other driver’s insurance limit was $100k and my medical bills totaled over 115k. I have a new lawyer and my case is still pending. I’m still in pain and still require medical care. I suffered two herniated discs and an annular fissure from my accident.

It is very important to use a medical malpractice lawyer that is experienced. The medical profession can have many hoops and layers of red tape for the lawyer to get through before they can access a full report. The patient can assist the lawyer by bringing in a full medical history and the names and numbers of their regular doctors and what they have been seen for. It is also a good idea to provide a timeline regarding the situation for which you are filing a medical lawsuit.

Medical malpractice lawyers commonly have a panel of medical experts that they consult with to determine if your particular case can be substantiated as malpractice due to negligence by the medical practitioner. There are four elements that must be present to constitute a medical malpractice lawsuit. If one of them is missing then you won’t be able to proceed.

First, it must be established that the practitioner had a duty to care for the patient. Then it must be shown that the practitioner did not serve in the patient’s best interest. It must be shown this failure resulted in adverse effects on the patient. The last part involves showing the patient suffered a loss. The loss can be physical, emotional, or both

Many dental malpractice lawyers used to be dentists. This is very helpful because they understand the right procedures and can tell you if you actually have a viable lawsuit that you can win. They also understand all of the terminology relating to the dental field. You will want to find out what experience the attorney has in dealing with dental malpractice lawsuits and what the results of those cases were.

If you feel that you have a substantial reason to file a malpractice lawsuit, then you need to work with the best lawyer available. Do some research and make sure you find one who specializes in the area you are involved with. Ask them for references and find out how long they have been practicing. Check with the Better Business Bureau as well to find out if they have any complaints against them.

Most malpractice lawyers charge you a percentage of the amount of money they get in a settlement for you. This is good because they are going to work harder for you than a lawyer who charges you a flat fee. It also means you won’t owe them money if your lawsuit is denied.

I am trying to find out if anyone knows of a successful wrongful death suit where the victim has received a settlement from one of the doctors involved for medical malpractice. However, the hospital and others involved were not sued.

I would like to know because in 2000 my father was a victim of medical malpractice and I have documented evidence that the cause of his death is directly attributable to the initial medical malpractice. I have spoken to a few attorney but they have all been less than helpful perhaps they view this case as one that will require some major effort so they are balking. In any event I am hoping that maybe someone out there may have some input regarding a particular direction that I can move in.

Thanks in advance.
