Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Illinois

Re: mishap after surgery

Hello.

I am sorry to learn of your injury. It is impossible to answer your question without knowing where the surgery was performed, and when. I would also need to know what problems you are still having, related to this surgery.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you.

Re: mishap after surgery

Whether their is recourse depends on whether or not the problem was caused by negligence rather than simply a poorly performed procedure. Please consider obtaining your medical records and consulting directly with an attorney who can help you.

Re: mishap after surgery

It is unfortunate to say the least that you have had such complications following surgery. I hope that you have recovered by now and are doing well. If the surgery was performed within the applicable statute of limitations, you might have a claim against the health care providers based upon negligence, or you might have a claim against the maker of the clamp if it was defective, or both. An experienced attorney would first obtain all available medical records and then have them reviewed by an expert to determine whether or not you have a legally enforceble claim. The attorney would also conduct research to determine whether anyone else has had a similar experience. Although there will be some costs up front to do these things, most attorneys will agree to represent you on a contingency fee basis under which the attorney's fees (or most of them) will be paid out of any settlement or other financial recovery made on your behalf. Please be sure to consult personally with an experienced attorney in your area as soon as possible. If you are not already represented by legal counsel, you may call me for a free telephone consultation at 314-727-2822. Please mention this email when you call. Thank you, and good luck!
