Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California

post c-section complications

My wife had a c-section in June 2006. She had to go back to surgery a few weeks later due to an infection from the c-section. She then had a 3rd surgery about 30 days later, doctor had said there is a possibility of hysterectomy, but fortunately that was not the case.

We would like to have another baby but she has had pain since and does not feel right.

We would like to pursue this further and see if there was any type of malpractice. Is the statute of limitations up or is there anything we can do to investigate this?

Re: post c-section complications

Medical malpractice cases have a one year statute of limitations from the incident or from when you discovery the malpractice. You don't have a case unless you have another doctor prepared to testify there was malpractice. Your opinion or mine is irrelevant. Consult with your doctors to see. If so, then feel free to contact me to discuss the facts and your remedies.
