Re: DR. paralized me, changed medical records, CONSPIRED to get me to settle for
I may be able to help, but I need to understand several things first.
Why was your case settled without knowing your medical prognosis? Your doctor mentioned you'll be OK in 6-8 months. Did you recover? Did you get another opinion? Is your paralysis permanent? If so, how old are you and what's your profession? How much income you lost and will continue to lose? How much future medical expenses will you need? Was there a life care planner involved?
Also, MICRA limits your pain and suffering to $250,000. So it is better to maintain the action against the initial tortfeasor rather than the doctor. Hence, dismissing them was end of your case.
Get your file to another attorney or send it to me for a free review.
I am sorry you're in that situation and hope you recover soon.
