QUESTION
Do I have cause for a medical malpractice case?
Asked on Feb 24th, 2016 on Medical Malpractice - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
My mother had a surgery late last year that was unnecessary. It was a misdiagnosis on the CT. Suggested there was a mass when a mass was not found once surgery was performed. Due to surgery she also had multiple complications and ended up being in the hospital much longer than initially anticipated. I would like to know what my options are.

If the surgery had not been done, and there was a mass, then what? I think this would be a very difficult case to pursue. However, if you feel strongly that there was a lack of care, gather up all of the relevant medical records and sit down with an experienced malpractice lawyer to determine if you have a viable claim. The statute of limitations in Wisconsin is three years from the date of the occurrence; if you fail to file a lawsuit within the 3 years, the claim would be forever barred.
