Would this be considered a surgical error on my obgyn part?

Answered 12 years and 4 months ago by Ronald A. Steinberg (Unclaimed Profile)   |   8 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Personal Injury
Not necessarily a medical mistake. Within a woman's abdomen are a lot of structures; they are somewhat crammed in there. Then, as a result of menstrual periods, adhesion can form. They coat the structures in the abdomen, sometimes making it almost impossible to get a clear visual field. As a result, it is not necessarily malpractice if other structures get nicked or damaged when abdominal surgery is performed on a woman. You need a competent expert to testify for you.... Read More

I did not see anything in your description that merited suing him, but you certainly should fire him and get another lawyer, one with whom you can build mutual trust.... Read More

Much more information would be needed: we would need to know why the money is being held in trust in the first place, what conditions would require its release, whether the attorney has any control over those conditions, and what, if anything can or should be done about it. Five years does sound like a long time. Attorneys, as fiduciaries, have a duty to account for funds they hold.... Read More
