An injury to the bladder during a hysterectomy is an accepted complication of the procedure, because these injuries can happen in the absence of negligence on the part of the surgeon. That said, a failure to recognize the bladder injury might be negligence. To know or sure, a lawyer will have to review the medical records. Keep in mind that while you have two years from the date of the malpractice to file a lawsuit, these cases take time to investigate before suit is filed, so you should act as quickly as possible if you are going to investigate a case.
