Does my father have a medical malpractice case against his dialysis center?

You may have a medical malpractice case, it sounds like your father received medical care that was below accepted standards. Medical malpractice cases are damages driven, however, so the question is going to be whether the case is financially viable.  If you want to investigate a medical malpractice case further, you should contact a local medical malpractice attorney (one in your state).  They take these cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are usually free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research medical malpractice attorneys.  Then, visit each attorney's website and look for a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.  Below are some articles you may find helpful.   Click here for an article that provides suggestions about how to get answers to questions when an unexpected medical outcome occurs.
