My 2 year old was diagnosed with developmental delay. How do i find a lawyer to represent her case?: She was born at 29 weeks, stayed in the nicu for almost 2 months, and she wasn't talking. So I was sent to a few specialists and they said she has speech delay. Right now she's doing speech therapy twice a week, and is currently in the process of getting into a school that's going to be focused on her speech delay.
Loren’s answer: I hope your 2-year-old daughter makes a full recovery. I suggest that you consult a Medical Malpractice attorney asap. A Medical Malpractice Attorney can explore the issues with you and review records prior to potentially sending them out to appropriate medical experts free of charge to you. There are often many stages to this inquiry. Ultimately, the answer to your question will depend upon medical expert review of all relevant records to determine whether the standard of care was breached and if that breach directly caused or contributed to causing your baby serious and permanent injuries. We all give free consultations and if we take the case, it would be on a contingent fee basis. These are most often very tough cases with time constraints and pre-suit requirements. Start this process with a free consultation by a Medical Malpractice lawyer. Providing the necessary medical records may help speed up the process for the reviewing attorney. Better sooner rather than later because the Statute of Limitation for bringing a complex Medical Malpractice lawsuit is relatively short.
Dr left a tool in my stomach after surgery. It's still in my stomach.: Dr left a tool in my stomach after surgery. I have photos that were provided to me after I had follow up tests done. I have a case, right?
Loren’s answer: I am very sorry to hear about what has happened to you. I hope removal surgery is uneventful. To answer your question: As long as you are within the Statute of Limitation / Statute of Repose this should be fairly straightforward on fault / standard of care and causation and would constitute a case other than damages. Seek a Medical Malpractice consultation immediately to discuss all of these issues. We give free consultations and if we take the case, it would be on a contingent fee basis. These cases have pre-suit requirements, and the Statute of Limitation is short and getting started early is important. Providing necessary medical records may help speed up the review process. We cannot solicit, so you will have to reach out.
How can an individual determine if there is negligence and/or malpractice from two doctors?:
First doctor placed a colostomy bag for over two years, close to three on my father. My father was told he will only have the colostomy bag for three months. That doctor retired before doing the reversal. Second doctor from JFK preformed the reversal. My father was given a choice to say in the hospital or go home not long after his operation. Once my father got home, couple of days later he had to be sent back to JFK medical Center due to complications. He had several procedures done to him to the point he was sent home to die. Six days later he passed away. My father died with a huge hole in his abdominal, the wound would not close because it kept leaking his waste into his blood.
Can anyone please help.
