You potentially can hire an attorney on her behalf.  It may depend on your mother's mental state and if she can consent.  If she cannot cosent you may have to open up a guardianship to bring the claim.  Opeing up a guardianship or purpose of a lawsuit is not difficult unless other family members may disagree.  ...

CATHETER WAS NOT INSERTED PROPERLY

Answered 13 years ago by John Joseph Ratkowitz, Esq. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
If the trip to the hospital cured the problem then you probably do not have a financially viable claim. Nursing home negligence cases sometimes entitle a patient to recover attorneys fees, so you may find a lawyer to take the case, but if the damages were temporary, I would question whether it is worth your while to get invovled in a protracted litigation.  If you want to investigate a malpractice case, you should contact a local medical malpractice attorney who litigates nursing home negligence claims (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,  ideally with experience in cases that involve your medical issue. If you are unable to find a lawyer who meets these qualifications within your state, sometimes you may contact an out of state lawyer who can refer you to a qualified attorney in your state while providing support related to the issues of medicine. 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.

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.
