You could... However, we would need to discuss your potential case further. Please contact my office asap at 212-405-2234
The defense for this type of insult is that it was a known risk. To counter that defense you need to establish by expert opinion that there was a depature from accepted technique. Your wife's claim should be evaluated by a competent medical malpratice lawyer. Feel free to visit our web site and blog for more information.
