I went to the Stretch Zone due to feeling like I needed to be stretched or aligned in March 2023. I informed him that I had one hip higher than the other.

You have a potential case and not just for malpractice but also, potentially, for misrepresentation. Consult with experienced Dental Malpractice attorneys in the state where this occurred.

Most likely, yes. Medical malpractice means that a doctor violated the standard of care. A bad outcome is not enough. Another doctor would be needed to evaluate what the doctors did. Consult with experienced medical malpractice attorneys.

If you had a medical malpractice case as a minor which settled, the proceeds would likely have been deposited in a bank account which would have been jointly held in trust by your guardian (your mother) and an officer of the bank. Significantly, any such monies should have been off-limits to your... View More
