Should I confront the Dr that hurt me?

Medical Malpractice cases in Wisconsin are exceedingly difficult to pursue and win. I wrote a blog on the difficulties at our law firm's web site last year under personal injury issues. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel did an excellent series on medical malpractice difficulties in Wisconsin as well, and you can google to read. I would say contacting your prior doctor and complaining is not the right step. Instead, if you feel that there was negligence on the part of the prior doctor, obtain copies of all of your medical and hospital records dealing with your case. Once you have those records, you should sit down with an experienced personal injury lawyer who has handled medical malpractice cases. They will review your records and if they feel there is some merit to the claim, will consult an outside medical expert to review your records to determine if you have a viable claim. The statute of limitations in Wisconsin for suing for medical malpractice is three years. Failure to file a lawsuit within three years from the date of the occurrence, would forever bar your claim.
