Re: filing malpractice suit
A bad result by itself is not a basis for a malpractice action. There are accepted risks associated with given procedures, and a bad outcome alone does not provide a right to recover.
A review of the complete medical record is necessary in addition to an expert consultation prior to filing suit. Feel free to contact my office for free consultation.
