I am sure there are - check in more rural areas and attorneys who work with farmers. Although, you probably don't need to limit your search to someone with specific experience with veterinarian medicine as the concept of malpractice would be the same as with humans.

(continued) name. My husband at the time of birth was not present and lived in another state. Did the hospital legally have to provide paperwork to me (mother) to prove that my husband was not the father and so that the child can take the biological father’s last name?
answered on Jun 22, 2022
If you were married, the child was not born out-of-wedlock, so the child is considered legitimate and the child of your husband. The hospital does not have to prove otherwise.
I’m beginning to get so frustrated with my lawyer and I was hoping one of you can shed some light on what may be happening since this is my first lawsuit/settlement.

You frustration is perfectly understandable. Your attorney may be frustrated also. Unfortunately, this sort of thing happens in cases all the time. You might want to discuss with your lawyer giving the opposing side a deadline to complete or otherwise there is no settlement.

Contact a personal injury attorney right away. There is a time limit to make your legal claims, and the longer you wait the more likely it will be that you may lose your right to seek legal remedy for this heinous crime.
Incase one decides not to take the case?

Hello,I was wondering what other platforms there are such as this one especially in NY to obtain an attorney for a medical malpractice suit. I am disabled and its quite hard to communicate.
Thank you
answered on Jun 1, 2022
One option is to search for attorney directories or referral services. In terms of communication difficulties, there are virtual meeting platforms (with chat options), as well as traditional email, if that is easier than telephone. The New York State Bar Association has resources for the public in... Read more »

You should immediately talk to a personal injury attorney who also handles medical malpractice. There are very strict timelines that you must not violate so you should talk to someone right away or you could lose the chance to do something.
