I went in for acl knee repair. The surgeon fixed the acl but also removed a lot of meniscus. I am no longer able to run and have trouble walking.

It is hard to tell you whether the surgeon committed medical malpractice, but if you went into a knee surgery with the expectation that it would make you better, and you came out of the surgery actually feeling worse, you have probably have sufficient reason to investigate a case. Have you obtained a second  opinion from another doctor? Did someone advise you that there was too much meniscus removed during the surgery? What are they suggesting (if anything) to remedy the problem? If you attempt to determine the answers to these kinds of questions, you will have a better idea of whether you have a viable malpractice case.  If you do want to investigate a medical malpractice case, 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 discusses the three main questions I ask when deciding whether to investigate a potential medical malpractice case.

Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
