Q: Hi, can you help , I had surgery in Jan of this yr & discovered a surgeon removed fallopian tubes no knowledge/consent
A: This is a medical malpractice claim. You need to immediately call a well-known medical malpractice attorney. Depending upon your date of discovery you may have very little time to bring suit. Amazing!
A: It depends on what your scheduled surgery was for, and whether the need to remove them was life saving, etc. I cannot know why based on the information you ovided, however, you need to be aware that the statutue of limitation, although 2 years personal injury matters, is ONLY 1 YEAR in medical malpractive actions. You must file a Notice of Intent to Sue a Medical Doctor within 1 year of the incident, and then your lawsuit within 90 days of filing the Notice. You should contact a medical malpractice attorney immediately.
