The statute of limitations varies state by state. I practice in New Jersey, and here it is two years from the date you knew, or should have known, that the doctor was negligent. Nevertheless, there are circumstances when the statute of limitations may be extended, or tolled. Sometimes, when a doctor misleads you by indicating that you will get better, that tolls the statute of limitations. The bottom line is that you should consult a local medical malpractice attorney immediately to ascertain whether you have a viable medical malpractice case and get counsel from him regarding what you should do to protect your interests. ...

How do you know if your case is medical malpractice or wrongful death?

What makes a case a wrongful death case is that the outcome from the incident you are suing for resulted in death. It is very difficult to determine whether you have a viable medical malpractice case based on the facts you supplied. Generally speaking, at a minimum, for an attorney to tell you whether you have a viable medical malpractice case they have to look at the pertinent medical records. You should contact a local attorney who does medical malpractice work to investigate this further. ... Read Answer

my disability company quit paying me because they say i can return to work, however my doctor will not release me. what should i do ?

Answered 14 years and 5 months ago by Sarah Reese (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Medical Malpractice
You need to tell the disability company that your doctor has not released you. In addition, you should probably get a statement from your doctor saying that you cannot return to work.   Be sure and do all of your correspondence with the disability company in writing so that you can have proof.  You may need to seek the assistance of a local attorney to help you if the disability company continues to refuse to pay.  The attorney will want to see your medical records and all correspondence with the disability carrier.  Good luck. NOTE:  This response is general in nature and should not be considered legal advice.  No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information.  ... Read Answer

You do not have a case. Your fiance might have one, although you are going to have a difficult time finding a lawyer who wants to invest the time and money in the case given the limited scope of damages.

Medical malpractice is a very specialized field of law. Having said that, people who handle medical malpractice cases generally handle malpractice cases of all sizes. Rather than picking your lawyer based on the size of the firm, pick the firm based on how much experience the attorneys in the firm have in prosecuting medical malpractice cases. Lawyers.com has a good site for selecting a specialty firm in your geographical area. So does Avvo, and Findlaw. These sights will direct you to the websites of specific law firms When they do, make sure the firm you are considering has a record of success in medical malpractice litigation. Many PI firms will indicate that they do this kind of work, and then simply refer you to a firm that handles these kinds of cases. Good luck.... Read Answer
