Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Georgia

Doctor messed up my sons circumcision.

When my son was born in November of 2005 the doctor did not take enough of his foreskin off during his circumcision, now he is 8 months old and has to be put to sleep to fix it. Can I sue?

Re: Doctor messed up my sons circumcision.

A qualified medmal lawyer will need to review all facts surrounding the original surgery, and the alleged error. One issue will be whether there is permanent damage, pain, actual financial damage to you, etc. Certainly, if there was a clear error you should not have to bear the financial burden. Making money off the deal is another question altogether.

There is no way to give you a reliable response without discussing the situation and reviewing the records. I have a network of doctors who review records with an eye toward seeing if there is malparactice. If you would like to discuss, please feel free to give me a call.
