Need find out if I have a case about screws backing out in my neck From a Prevail peek cage this is the 2nd time.

To know whether you have a viable medical malpractice case an attorney will have to have an expert review the records and the pertinent radiographic films. You certainly would not expect screws to back out following spinal surgery. Usually if this happens immediately after surgery this suggests negligence on the part of the surgeon. At the same time, it is certainly possible that there was a problem with the manufacturing of the screws. That is the case, you might have a products liability case against the manufacturer. If you can find out who made the screws, usually googling that information will let you know whether other people have filed a products liability case against the manufacturer. Answered by New Jersey Medical Malpractice Attorney John Ratkowitz. If you want to investigate a 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.  They are written for a New Jersey audience (where I practice) but the ideas discussed in these articles usually apply in most other jurisdictions as well.
