Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

Sorry, but it is a little unclear what malpractice you believe occurred that caused damage to your spleen during neck surgery, and would cause unexpected bleeding. A more thorough explanation would be needed to offer you any opinion or advice.

In general, when claiming medical malpractice, your claim must be supported by the opinion of a doctor who is a 'qualified expert' in that field of medicine, who is prepared to say the treatment fell below the acceptable standard of care, and that you suffered legally recognized damage. Neither your opinion about malpractice, nor mine, is relevant nor 'proof' of malpractice. What may seem obvious to you and I is not necessarily a conclusion an expert will support.

What have your other treating doctor[s] told you? Would they be willing to provide that opinion? If not, you can get independent experts for that purpose if your treating doctors say there is negligence but they won't testify. I can provide referrals and assistance if necessary. If you obtain such an expert's opinion, and if you determine that you have a case with MERIT and VALUE, then you would have grounds to bring your legal claims in a lawsuit. Keep in mind that you have only one year maximum from 'notice' or learning of the suspected malpractice to bring suit.

If serious about pursuing this, please contact me to discuss the basis and facts of your case.
