This can't work unless you ask a question. You have not asked a question. Criminal charges must be filed against your wife/ex-wife. To be credible, the situation should have been reported to the police as soon as you had received necessary emergency medical care. Again, it is impossible... View More

Many people are rude. Many doctors are rude and many lawyers are rude. When they are rude, you don't sue them, you avoid them. In your case, you know that your doctor is morally and legally obligated to "fill out your FMLA paperwork" which means that one of their support staff... View More

The language of a release is up to negotiation in settlement of a case, just like the amount is. You do not have to agree to the terms and they may either agree to exclude the language or refuse to settle.

I strongly recommend consulting with an experienced attorney who specializes in child welfare cases and civil lawsuits against government agencies. They will be able to review the details of your case, advise you on the best course of action, and help you understand your legal rights and options.

An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. Generally, clients are free to fire attorneys, and vice-versa. However, that doesn't mean that a lien wouldn't arise, depending on efforts expended to date. One option could be to first discuss the bills... View More

However, they actually just cut some skin off the top of my foot to cover up the... View More

The simple answer to your question is yes. Unfortunately, you can sue nearly anyone for nearly anything. If your real question is whether you have a viable claim (one where you will probably recover more money than you will spend), it is unclear without many more details. "Staples" can... View More

Like the answer to so many legal questions, it depends. First of all, you need to be able to prove that your friend who was operating the motorcycle was negligent (beyond the fact that he failed to purchase insurance). An attorney is unlikely to take your case because the attorney would have no... View More

The way this works is that you need to ask a question. You have not asked any question. Moreover, you should never use proper names. The information exchanged online is supposed to be hypothetical and anonymous.

I gave birth in May of 22. It was a planned c-section. After c-sections nurses are supposed to come and press on your stomach to make sure you don't form a clot in your uterus. My nurses didn't do this, and I formed a blood clot that caused me to hemorrhage pretty badly. I believe it was... View More

Yes there is a potential case. 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. Due to the nature of medical malpractice cases, the extent of your injuries may effect the... View More
He missed a canal causing 3 rounds of antibiotics now 4 bouts of cdiff. Negligence?
answered on Aug 2, 2023
Yes this may be malpractice. Another dentist would need to review the records, and possibly examine you, to state if the dentist breached the standard of care.
Additionally, due to the nature of malpractice cases, the extent of your damages will effect the case's viability.
