Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Michigan

Tubal ligation clip caused 6 years of pain

I had surgery 9/07 to make a repair an injury caused by my tubal ligation clip, which was placed 5/01. It had punctured my bowel, scar tissue had attached to surrounding tissues, and I also had a hernia in this same area. I have lived in pain, or you could say, actually not lived for the past 6 years. I have had many tests, including ct scans, colonoscopy,etc.

and no one could ever figure out the problem. My life has not been well lived the past 6 years. I have not been able to enjoy even the simple things, like my children, because of pain. I have passed out several times just trying to have a bowel movement. The doctor who performed the initial c-section and tubal has moved to a different state and no longer practices in Michigan. I could have filed suit on him because of the c-section, (he took my son at 31-33 weeks stating he was full term) however I never believed in medical law suites. I am now a believer and am ready to file when I get sound advice from an attorney. Can my children receive damages from the loss they had because mom couldn't give to them the way a normal mom could? For example, going to the zoo,parks, etc. I just never felt good. I have 4 children. I am 35, so I missed 6 good years of my life! Valid case?

Re: Tubal ligation clip caused 6 years of pain

You have a large number of issue that need to be reviewed. It sounds like you may well have grounds to proceed against this doctor. However, you must act immediately to see whether you have already passed the statute of limitations which could prevent you from filing suit.

I suggest that you call
