Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Arizona
Second delivery problems
Our 2nd child, I feel that the doctor did not do a good job of the delivery. Ever since the delivery, my wife had some problems.
- pains from her stomach and below
- Back pains
- suffers from depression
We changed doctors, but mentioned it's normal.
I don't think it's normal, she has been taking many medication for her back pains and various anti-depressant medication. 2nd child just turned 2 yrs old and my wife stills suffers from this problems. I am the only provider, so it's taking a toll on me.
Is this something worth investigating with a lawyer? Or is this grounds to take legal actions?
Any info would be great.
Thank you

Re: Second delivery problems
The information you provided is not sufficient to determine if your wife has a claim. You should consult with an attorney right away. The lawyer can review the facts and medical records and/or have a medical expert review the file.
You must contact an attorney immediately!! The statute of limitations for these types of claims in Arizona is two years from the date a person discovered or should have discovered the injury (and it is shorter if a governmental entity is a defendant).
