Re: Stroke victim
You are doing the right thing seeking legal advice at this stage. However, a competent attorney can not advise you whether or not to pursue legal action without first taking several critical steps. I have posted other responses on this website discussing the exact process that one must go through before proceeding with a lawsuit based upon medical negligence. I would be very happy to offer you a free telephone consultation and follow up with a free in office consultation if appropriate. Then, if you elect to do so, we can take the necessary steps to determine whether it would make sense to file a lawsuit. My office number is 314-727-2822.
Re: Stroke victim
Yes, you have a case that should be investigated.
How is your wife doing? And, when did it happen? There is a two-year statute of limitations.
If you are interested in having help investigating the case, call our medical analyst, Sandra Hull, R.N. She is currently working on two other major stroke cases and is up to speed on all the medical issues, including administration of TPA - "clot busters." Please visit our web page:

It is difficult to evaluate a potential medical malpractice claim on the basis of the information in your message, but someone should gather the medical records and evaluate the treatment. This is particularly true if you wife suffered severe injuries and is unable to work or support herself.
