Do I have a case? Morgan and Morgan replied that I do, but not medical malpractice and that I should reach Lawyergist.
I fractured my back in 3 spots definite to a car crash with no one in it except me and a deer, and enormous rocks. The matter with my case is that the hospital that I was taken to forwards their imaging and X-rays to a separate company, and they interpret the results and call the emergency room doctor with the findings. The physician arrived and informed me that I had a fracture (L4 facet) and discharged me with a lot of pain that was excruciating. 2 months after the accident, I learned that I had a compression fracture between T11 and T12 and probably T10 through another MRI. Another MRI was necessary to ensure that by the time my neurosurgeon would be able to get my MRI approved and I returned, there were no more breaks. He replied that I will always experience pai,n and the most they could do was report to my regular physician and the pain clinic that I will be on medication forever. And so have I a case against the outsourcing company that had the ct scans or the hospital that sent me home?

Is it possible to sue a plastic surgeon due to failed eyelid surgery?
I had mohs surgery. On day nx, I had upper eyelid reconstruction surgery. The surgeon botched it, and I can now no more open my eyelid! I lost use of the site as he had done it wrong and stitched down the ends of the eyelid, even common sense will tell you that tacked down eyelid will not raise. He only had to stretch and sew and to follow instructions to do in layers, bending the bottom layer and piling it up so as to afford protection to the eye and serve to the eyelid.<br />
I'm so depressed and weak with 1 eye and can fall. I am 77. I went to a skin dr to check whether my cancer had come back. He said no, its prob an eyelash. So I visited Eye Dr, but needed my original skin dr to see it. He spotted the cancer immediately, and it was bad. So a skin dr misdiagnosed me, and an eye dr is the one who did the surgery wrong. Can I sue both? Where do I find atty? What are my chances?
