Re: medical malpractice

In most states the doctrine of res ipsa loquitor applies. This latin expression means "the thing speaks for itself". I think it likely that an appropriate OB expert woulld agree that pelvic facture is not a result of a properly performed csection. In fact it sounds like you have been given no explanation. You should consult a lawyer with experience in handling medical malpractice claims.
