Malpractice claim

Answered July 17, 2009 05:23. If the first surgeon performed an incomplete surgery, it may be negligence. It would depend on what the standard of care is for surgeons performing that type of procedure. In other words, is it possible to do a reasonably careful job but still miss some tissue? Or would a careful doctor have gotten it all? You also have to prove that his negligence caused you harm, which can include medical bills, as well as physical injury. It can be hard to find an attorney to take a case that doesn't include significant or lasting injuries. This is because medical malpractice cases are expensive to pursue and the attorney usually pays the costs upfront (including high fees for medical experts). That said, you should consult an experienced medical malpractice attorney near you. Give them a detailed account of all the facts, and go from there. These initial consultations are generally free.
