I did try to sue but could not get an expert witness, I knew at that time that this will cause problems for me in the future and it has I now have spinal damage because my alignment is off therefore I am in pain constantly in there is nothing no one can do about and I don't think this is fair I found out in September 2011 that I now have scoliosis and it's all because of this leg I cannot wear shoes like a normal person because I have a 2 inch lift in my left shoe . So what I am seeking if information on a lawsuit being that I just found out of all the damage this has caused I cannot work any longer and I am on permanent disability. I was never told that something like this could happen by the doctor who performed the surgery I knew there was problems right after the surgery , I tried to explain that something wasn't right with my back on the right side and I was still having pain and the last time I saw the doctor which was in 2007 he just told me to take Advil and that was it! And now my whole life is ruined
I do not think you have a viable case because the statute of limitations has expired on all claims against the orthopedist if you investigated a potential claim against him already.
