Q: I had 2 hernia repairs since colon cancer surgery in 2014. Now I have been diagnosed with another hernia. Can I sue?
Colon cancer surgery with complications resulting in an ostomy bag placement for 9 months. Since the removal of the ostomy bag, I have experienced 1 hernia repair and 1 hernia repair with a mesh. Recently, I have been told that I have another hernia in the same location.
A:
Possibly though much depends on the situation of the tissue following the cancer surgery etc.
Contact attorney James Ronca in Philadelphia. You may use my name.

An attorney will likely want to review additional information before giving a simple yes or no answer. A starting point could be to contact a med mal attorney in New Mexico, who might be able to obtain medical records to evaluate your question more meaningfully.
