Q: If i am unable to walk correctly and have a screw floating around my leg can i sue
A: I am sorry to hear you are in pain. You do not explain the circumstances of how you were injured. At work, via fall, car accident? Medical malpractice cases are very complex if that is what you are specifically asking about. You must demonstrate the doctor did something negligent. You should gather all your records regarding the treatment at issue, including any progress notes and surgical reports and then bring them to an attorney ASAP. They will be able to make an assessment on what to do next. Any attorney worth their salt with do a free initial consultation and review of the records. Beware, as there are statute of limitations that can bar these cases from court if you do not file within a certain period of time. This post is not legal advice and does not create any attorney client relationship. Only by signing a contract with this firm would you be a client.
