It could depend on the provisions of the insurance policy. Your post remains open for two weeks. There's no point losing further time if you need medical attention; ask the carrier to arrange for another primary physician. Good luck

These are questions which cannot be answered without further review of the records either by an attorney or another physician. Blank pages and late signings are not unusual practices in and of themselves to warrant suspicion. Please keep in mind that you only have one year from the date of the... View More
My attorney said my future medical bills are included in the 500,000 which may no sense to me. I do have Medicare but I would still have to pay the 20% since Medicare only covers 80%. Why would I be responsible for 20% of something that someone caused to me for the rest of my live.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to comment without seeing your attorney's closing statement in terms of how it breaks down the award. With the considerable medical treatment that must have accompanied an award of that... View More

I'm so sorry for your loss. You should speak with a Louisiana attorney, but your question remains open for a week and could involve transient digital files. No one can pass judgment on what the deletion involved without knowing more information. But a deletion under such circumstances raises... View More

Unless a panel request was made within, at the latest, 3 years from the date of the alleged malpractice, then it would likely be too late to pursue it.

It sounds as if you need to call and speak with an attorney that handles medical malpractice matters. It's hard to give any information or advice in a forum like this and with the limited information you've provided.
