It sounds like it is possible that you have a claim for medical malpractice. One important fact will be whether or not your tape allergy is reflected in your medical records. Whether or not this is indicated in your chart, you may still have a claim, but if this information is not in your chart it will make your potential claim much harder to prove. You should consult with an experienced medical malpractic attorney to discuss your options and help you decide whether you might have a claim.
