My husband had the surgery. Somehow his eye got scratched. Now he can't see anything. Everything is blurry and double vision. We had to go to an eye specialist. They said there was a deep scratch in his eye. They had to sew it half shut because he can't close it all the way. We have to... View More

You may have a good lawsuit, since the injury was not something that you were at risk to expect from the surgery. You will need to go into more details with an attorney, to allow them to review this matter before reaching a final conclusion to determine whether this matter can move forward and is... View More
I would like more information on how to move forward in building a legal case against two doctors for malpractice and negelct. Acknowledged health discrepancies without disclosure and resulting in long term health issues.
answered on Sep 20, 2023
The best way would be to consult with experienced medical malpractice attorneys in the State where this occurred.
For a malpractice case one almost always needs an expert doctor or other health care professional to testify the doctor acted below the standard of care and the malpractice... View More
My cousin recently left a continuing care facility that filed chapter 11 two weeks later. Per her contract she gave 60 days notice but moved out in 20. Is she obligated to pay for the remaining 40 days since she probably wont be getting the 90% of her entrance fee back that was promised in her... View More

A bankruptcy alone does not void a contract. Chapter 11 is a business reorganization. Essentially someone - a trustee - takes over the business, managing its assets and liabilities. Largely, that process does not affect you the consumer.
Think about it: you have likely bought products or... View More

In short, yes. PTO and FMLA are not mutually exclusive. FMLA covers longer terms of leave for which you are ensured 1) your job upon your return, and 2) continued health insurance coverage. In relevant part, FMLA means you can't be fired or lose insurance coverage for protected periods of... View More

You may have a medical malpractice case. A big issue as to when this occurred. An experienced attorney needs to evaluate your case as if it is within the time limit to sue. Even if you have no case, it can be reported to the board that licenses her.

You absolutely may be trespassed from the hospital. If you have care concerns, those perhaps should be addressed as Mr. Selik suggests, or you may need to get other doctors involved to facilitate movement to a different facility.

Hard to say with what you present. Attorneys are not doctors or mental health professionals; I can only assume your husband presented "normally", and even stating all his mental health issues would not alone require an attorney to decline representation.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One option is to see if your health insurance carrier has the records. It's no guarantee, but insurance carriers might have medical records submitted in connection with bills to verify the treatments. Good luck

Possibly. Sounds like the makings of a lawsuit for which you should seek an employee-side civil litigator.

A number of reasons, all of which depend on facts you are not disclosing in your question. Could be as simple as they are acting on instructions from the proper patient advocate - perhaps your mom's spouse or one of your siblings. Maybe there is an adult protective services investigation or... View More

If your son is an adult, you will need to petition for guardianship from the probate court. The paper your son signed does not cut it. Until then, you have no legal authority to act on his behalf.

It might depend on the circumstances involving the death that required a particularly level of autopsy, and whether or not the CME authorized release.

I don't see why not if a doctor determines it necessary. The alternative is to go to a different hospital.
