According to your statement, you have an excellent malpractice case against the ob-gyn.

Follow Mr. Roth's advice, and find an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice.

Re: Extremely Traumatic Mistake By a Doctor

You have a solid malpractice case, it seems. If you call us we can arrange to get your records and give you a more certain opinion. Medical Malpractice fees in this state are regulated by statute, and are calculated based upon the amount recovered for you in settlement or following trial.

These cases are difficult since juries don't like to find against doctors, but, again, yours sounds very solid and based upon your zip code, your jury pool should be better than average.

You should go with a lawyer who has done a lot of this work since the defense lawyers and insurance companies know those who have and those who haven't. I know, I did exclusively medical malpractice defense work for six years before I left to represent plaintiffs.
