You have a lot of symptoms that may be related to your epidural but you have no medical evidence or doctors giving any correlation.

Also, I'm not certain its medical malpractice or products liability.... Read More

You have a case if your doctor acted outside the normal course of business and recognized standards of care.  First, you would need to have another doctor working in substantially the same area and field be willing to testify that the original doctor acted outside the normal standards of care.  It is very possible that your doctor did the best in a bad situation or that they did what any reasonable doctor in the same circumstances would do.  I am so sorry you had to suffer this injury.  I hope this answer helps.  Please feel free to contact us with any further questions....

I think we would need more information to be able to properly answer this question.  However, you should be able to consult with an attorney who can put you in the right direction. You should start with an attorney with a focus on personal injury.  Regarding costs, it would depend on the amount of medical records that need to be obtained.  Most attorneys otherwise charge a contingency fee which is a percentage of the total award, judgment or settlement. Please feel free to inquire with us further.... Read More

In my oppinion, I do not see a med mal case.  From my understanding, what you have experienced are possible risks of the procedure. Unless you have a second medical doctor who will attest and put in writing that the surgeon did something outside the normal course of business that resulted in your injuries, a case is very unlikely.  That being said, I think you should still consult with a medical malpractice attorney with experience....

It is possible you have a medical malpractice case.  In order to know, you need to get a second medical opinion from a comparable provider who can tesify or put down in writing that the first provider acted beyond the scope of the opperation and that his opperation was not conducted within the normal standard of care.  If another comparable doctor states that the first doctor violated standards of care, you will likely have a good case. Please contact me for further assistance.... Read More

You may have a case for failure to diagnose cancer.  The key question is whether an earlier diagnosis would have made a significant difference in the outcome.  Pancreatic cancer can be very difficult to treat at any stage. As I indicated, the most important factor is whether an earlier diagnosis with have made a significant difference.  Feel free to contact me at 860-447-3171 to discuss further.... Read More

You may have a case if the statute of limitations has not expired.   The law requires that a medical malpractice lawsuit be initiated within two years from the date when the injury is first sustained or discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered. The law also requires that it be initiated within three years from the date of the act or omission complained of (CGS § 52-584). (The courts typically refer to the two year period as the statute of limitation and the three year limit as the statute of repose).  You would also need a medical doctor who can offer testimony that basicly damn the doctor who committed the malpractice. This is very difficult to find.  There needs to be a doctor who can attest that your treating doctor did not live up to the standard of care required. Please contact me if you would like further assistance or answers. ... Read More

In my oppinion you do not have a case.  I don't see any damages.  I don't see how you were harmed.  I would imagine that its probably standard procedure for blood tests to cover any number of concerns that most people are unaware of. Moreover, when your blood was taken at whatever phlebotomy lab you visited, there would have been standard disclosures including a checklist with various items checked off showing what was being tested for.  I find it remarkably unlikely that any Quest Lab or similar outfit would fail to protect themselves from any liability.  It is much more likely that you signed and overlooked that checkbox. Regardless, I don't think you have a case.... Read More
