QUESTION
Is it hard to sue for medical malpractice in ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) cases?
Asked on Sep 04th, 2012 on Medical Malpractice - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I have contacted two malpractice attornies about my mother and they both said they couln't or wouldn't help us. She had a biopsy and within two days was on a ventilator and diagnosed with ARDS. The doctors in the ICU said it was probably caused by the biopsy. She did survive but will not be independent any longer.

There are a lot of variables to reviewing a medical malpractice claim in Pennsylvania. They not only include the theory of negligence and damages but also the place a lawsuit would need to be filed and other factors. If you still are questioning whether this is a claim to pursue I would suggest consulting with another lawyer immediately, but make sure you have all of your mother's medical records for review by the lawyer.
