Do I have a case for negligence?

Hello Nathaniel, I am sorry to hear about the ordeal which you and your 10 year old son have suffered. I hope that he recovers fully. If that not be the case, the answer to your question can only be sought by request and review of medical records to determine if the standard of care was breached and if that breach caused serious and permanent injuries to your son.     If you are interested in consulting with one of us, you will have to reach out, as attorneys are unable to directly solicit on this forum.   Do not delay, as the Statute of Limitation in general (there are exceptions) for bringing a Medical Malpractice lawsuit can run as early as 2 years from the date of the medical error(s).  

Not unless the "serious" ailment was catastrophic, which I hope was not the case. You can file a complaint the regulatory boards and the Dept. of Health, but simple misdiagnosis, is not actionalble from a civil lawsuit perspective generally as there aren't substantial damages caused by the misdiagnosis and medical malpractice cases are exceptionally expensive to litigate requiring upwads of $100,000.00 in expense investment in many instance . By example, failing to diagnose long standing cancer today. whcih is discoverd next month, has no damages as nothing would have changed in that time frame. On the other extreme, if there was a failure to diagnose a hyper aggressive form of cancer that could have been arrested in that time frame BUT mestacized and is now terminal, WOULD be catastrophic and a validand viable med mal claim. To accurately know the answer you will need to secure a written ecpert opinion from a physician detailing whther there was malpractice if the results were in fact catastrophic. Hopefully your case is limited to incompetence thats aggravating. If not, you can always contact our office if there are tragic results to address this issue further.
