Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Georgia

Re: Went in to unblock kidney and came out with nerve damage to leg

You may have a case, but we would need much more information to know for sure. It is not unusual for patients to come out of surgery with injuries unrelated to the surgery. The medical people often do not give the patient any information as to how the injury happened. To determine how the nerve injury in your leg happened, we would want to know if the nerve that was injured was anywhere near the area of the surgery. Perhaps the doctor accidently damaged it. Another possibility is that the nerve was near a pressure point on your body. Often, patients are injured by the way the hospital staff straps them onto the table. Your type of case is difficult to prove because you were unconscious when the injury happened, but you should not have nerve damage in your leg resulting from abdominal surgery.

Contact my offices to discuss your situation.

Re: Went in to unblock kidney and came out with nerve damage to leg

You may have a case BUT that is totally dependent upon your being able to find a doctor qualified in the same area of practice as the one who supervised the procedure that caused your problem who is willing to sign an affidavit that the other doctor or others involved in the procedure committed negligence. The insurance companies for doctors who I contact about settlement won't give me the time of day without this affidavit.
