Re: Knee replacement

It is possible. But you must have all of your records reviewed and an opinion from either your 3rd doctor or another doctor that there was negligence or a breach of contract with the 2nd doctor. There may be more issues. Remember that you only have 1 year within which to file your lawsuit. You should get all your records and see an attorney.
