First - its sounds like your son is an adult and you have no business asking for legal opinions about hit case. If he has legal questions the proper thing is to assist him in getting an appointment with a lawyer or that he do so on his own. Second, it seems that your son is a non-compliant diabetic that went septic or a drug abuser. As such, its a solid bet any injury from an IV in his hand is the least of his worries but that would be an issue for his primary care/treating doctor to address. ... Read More

Should I go through with a malpractice Lawyer? What are my chances for winning?

Answered 3 years and 7 months ago by attorney Loren L. Gold   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Medical Malpractice
Start with a consultatation and go from there. Do so sooner rather than later. It is complex rather than black and white-too many factors to mention and more appropriate for a private discussion.

There is no viable case here. Maybe CS attention or nominal settlement value often called "nuisance" value. The starting point is the red flag of a claim of baby food diet for a month afterwards when doctors find no provable injury.

Answered 3 years and 9 months ago by attorney Mark Tischhauser, Esq.   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Medical Malpractice
Not likely due to cost vs value. Unless you have a written opinion from another dentist stating it was first dentists fault - there isn't even a useful discussion to be had under Fla. Stat. 766.

Did your attorney file a motion to withdraw from the case with the court? Or did he just send you a letter that he is withdrawing? The difference depends on whether he filed a lawsuit. If he filed a lawsuit, then he has to get court permission to withdraw. If he has not filed a lawsuit then he could just send a letter. You have a certain amount of time to bring a lawsuit in court, and if you don't you're forever barred from seeking relief. You should reach out to counsel here in the state of Florida for possible substitution of counsel on contingency fee which means you don't pay anything unless you win the case.... Read More
