Such a case may be possible. An opinion from another doctor needs to be obtained (probably by a lawyer) indicating that the doctor acted below the standard of care and that caused the harm. Additionally, due to the nature of medical malpractice law and litigation, the viability may be determined... View More

An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. There wasn't a question included, but if you are wondering if the incident rose to the level of providing you with grounds for a med mal case, it doesn't sound like it. There is generally a need for showing... View More

Yes you have a case. But there is a question if it is sufficient to make it worthwhile.

Yes. But, what you could recover might not warrant the expense.
My husband and I both paid the bill without knowing the other person did. This was for our son’s newborn exam at the hospital. The doctor doesn’t have a physical office so I’ve been dealing with a medical billing agency. It’s been almost 6 months and they can’t provide any update. I tried... View More

You may have a good medial malpractice case. I would advise consulting with experienced medical malpractice attorneys in the state where this occurred.
Also the surgery left me so badly maimed that it cost me 2 times the price of the original surgery to fix. I possess the agreements, pictures for proof and a video where the doctor that fixed me explains what was done incorrectly in the original surgery. Do you think that I have a case to sue the...

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 attorneys in the state where this occurred.
I went to get a root canal done and had to get a crown put on it. The tooth in question wasn’t cracked before. He worked on teeth that was unnecessary to what he was supposed to be doing and now the tooth is cracked(it wasn’t before I went to him) and I’m in serious pain

See another dentist to analyze the situation, determine what happened and what needs to be done. 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.

I recently saw a doctor who did multiple tests and claimed nothing was wrong. The symptoms never improved and I ended up missing some work because of my condition. The doctor was quite rude to me and it felt like he didn't care. I'm getting a second opinion from another doctor. If the... View More

If the failure to diagnose was below the medical standard of care and the failure to diagnose caused additional harm, you may have a case. Due to the nature of medical malpractice cases, the extent of your injuries may effect the viability of your case.
Recently and my mother could not find any information about this case as it was through email and we can’t get access to his phone. Is there a way to figure out who was on this case? Thankyou!!!
