Is it worth while to pursue a malpractice case if a doctor forgot to inform me he accidentally cut the inside of my ear?

It is hard to know whether you have a viable medical malpractice case. First, many times when physicians inadvertently cut something during a surgical procedure it is deemed accepted complications of the procedure. Second, notwithstanding the fact that you're getting repeat ear infections, there are going to be questions about whether these infections are related to the cut in your here. Finally, as you have anticipated, there is a real question about whether or not you have a financially viable 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.
