Q: How come my case is not important? Hygienist caused me severe pain which in turn caused 3-day Hospital stay.
To include 2 ER visits, several Dr. Apts, several medications, pain and suffering and a horrible swelled up face with eye closer and missed work
A: A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Your case does not seem unimportant. Based on your description, you experienced severe pain and it appears you have evidence supporting your position, in terms of hospitalization or work attendance records. If you mean that law firms you approached did not express interest in representing you, that could be more about their practical reasons for declining. Without knowing more, the short answer is that it could come down to a question of the law firm's confidence in a recovery that would be in proportion with their litigation expenses. Med mal cases are costly to prosecute. One option is to continue reaching out to firms. I'm sorry for your ordeal, and wish you a healthy recovery. Good luck
