A: Misplacement of an IUD can be malpractice. If the procedure was done below the standard of care, the health care worker could be liable for malpractice. Another requirement is to prove the harm cased by the malpractice. Due to the nature of medical malpractice cases, the nature and extent of the harm will need to be evaluated to determine if an anticipated recovery makes bringing a case viable.
A: this can be a complication or negligence. Suggest that you obtain medical records asap -- (fastest means for doing so is on the facility's/clinic's website), and seek an attorney who is experienced in medical malpractice asap. You did not state how long ago this occurred, but there is an absolute 2 year statute of limitations from the date of treatment/insertion. Texas law also mandates specific time related pre-suit requirements, meaning you need to secure an attorney as quickly as possible.
