Mississippi Medical Malpractice Questions & Answers
Q: 17 yrs. my NB baby lives 12 hrs. A lot of Trauma took place. Would I have any case to stand on at this time.
I would highly recommend that you reach out to a personal injury/medical malpractice as soon as you are able, as there is a time element involved in this. Whether or not you have a case depends on several factors. Regardless, feel free to reach out to any attorney on this forum by clicking the attorney's name.
Q: I have been terminated by my physician. No reason was given. what are my options?
Answered on Apr 4, 2018
Your best bet would be to contact an attorney experienced in medical malpractice to discuss your case. Like any relationship, the one between a doctor and their patient may be terminated by either party. The issue in your case is whether there is a continuing duty on the part of the physician to continue providing care while knowing that you require ongoing care.
Q: Medical negligence with diagnosing heart attack
You will need to consult an attorney to discuss some more of the facts behind your possible claim. It would be helpful to get an electronic copy of your father's medical records for the attorney's review. Keep in mind, though, that when it comes to medical malpractice claims, there is a statute of limitations, which means you want to make sure that you consult with the attorney before the time lapses to file suit, if one is necessary.
