Q: My mom suffered a stroke in 2014 from a hospital that misdiagnosed her pre stroke the day before.
6 years later my mom suffered another stroke that caused more damage. Can that same hospital be held responsible for this stroke as well.
A:
I'm sorry for your mom's ordeal. This is something that calls for a medical opinion. If a physician was asked to make such a determination, it's likely that they would want to know more about the medical history. You could reach out to med mal attorneys. If a law firm felt there was a basis for a case, they could investigate the matter in greater detail. Good luck
