Re: My husband was sent home from hospital

You can sue, but you have to prove that he suffered damages as a result of being sent home. As a recent open heart surgery survivor myself, I know he went through alot, but did he suffer any damages as a result of being sent home...that is the question. Nowadays, malpractice is very difficult to prove, and then it is limited to $500,000, no matter how terrible the damage, plus any medical bills in the future. So, I doubt if you will find someone to take your case on a contingency fee basis. Of course you can find someone to take your case on a cash pay basis....
