surgeon cut nerve when repairing trigger thumb. Half of my thumb is numb, swelled and painful when I have to use it. Do I have a case?

        I am sorry what happened to your hand. Medical malpractice cases are very difficult to pursue in Wisconsin. I wrote a blog about it at our firm's web site. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel did an excellent essay about it as well last year. If you feel strongly about it, gather up all of your medical records and sit down with an experienced injury lawyer to review your case. Under Wisconsin law, you have three years to file a lawsuit; if you fail to file within three years from the date of the occurrence, your case would be forever barred.
