Question : Does anyone know of a medical malpractice lawyer or law m.d. in Boston...Preferably a female??? Question : Does anyone know of a medical malpractice lawyer or law m.d. in Boston...Preferably a female??? Question Details: I had a baby 9months ago and seriously can't get over the horrible experience. I have never sued or brought legal action against anyone. It would take me alot more than this paragraph to explain the whole situation-but its very complicated with several different issues. Basicly as a result I feel like my life is ruined. I have a beautiful healthy baby but can't move past everything....I know i'm being vague but any referrals or assistance you can give would be great. Also if anyone knows if there are any online groups or boards w/other people seeking action against their Ob or MD i would love to speak to others. Part of the problem is the serious emotional distress that accompanied this whole mess-i'm actually ashamed to say i thought most people claiming this weren't being honest-but now see malpractice in a whole new light. I guess because our society is so "lawsuit" happy I had trouble allowing myself to truly believe that I was not treated correctly. Thanks so much.

The increasing size of medical malpractice awards has caused malpractice insurance costs to skyrocket, driving some physicians with high risk coverage, such as OB-GYNs and anesthesiology to move to states that have passed tort reform laws.

Do you think it is fair to the injured party to have a state law limit the amount that can be recovered in a medical malpractice suit?

Is there a way that you can find out how many vehicles a person owns.? I live in Michigan & I'm getting ready to take my ex-husband to court after 6 years of not having to pay ANY child support. We've gone before & he has always claimed to he's not working & can't affort to pay child support.The judge always take pitty on him & I get screwed over. He is on disability & get at least $1,700 a month for the, plus he gets money from the V.A from when he was in the Army & he suffered an injury. But it's not like he has any bills, I know that in 2005 he won this HUGE medical malpractice law suit. With the money he bought a farm with 20 acres & another 10 across the road from there. He has farm equipment. bulldozers, backhoes, semi truck, trailers, & much more. He pays cash for everything, I just need to prove it to the judge so that when we go to court it's not my word agianst his.

Maybe if he has to pay $50 or so a week that will remind him that he has 3 kids.

Medical Malpractice Arbitration Plaintiff Consolidation? Myself and 2 sisters have filed a demand for arbitration and listed each of us as plaintiffs. The malpractice concerns the death of our Mom. The large HMO hospital in Southern California has a large law firm representing their interests as respondents. The law firm sent each of us 5 documents with questions and production of documents (5 docs times 3 sisters = 15 replies). I want to know if there is a motion or procedure I could use to consolidate our Arbitration so that the 3 of us will be considered 1 plaintiff. The law firm has requested copies of all documents, records, notes, etc... to each of us individually, but there is no way that we should be required to copy and submit 3 copies of the same information regarding the treatment of our Mom. How can I get the Respondent and/or arbitrator to group the 3 of us as 1 plaintiff?

Is this a medical malpractice suit?????? My father-in-law had a triple bi-pass surgery a few days ago. An x-ray revealed that a sponge had been left inside his chest. The doctor who made this horrendous mistake admitted to doing so. My father-in-law had to have his chest openend up again to have the sponge removed. So far he is doing ok, however this is unacceptable medical practice in my opinion. Would this be grounds for a lawsuit? I spoke to a paralegal who said that it is NOT because the dr. admitted that he did it. We definitley want to pursue legal action. Where do we stand with such a case??

can anyone please tell about the prospects of a medical lawyer/med malpractice lawyer in india? i am specifically interested in the scope of med /med malpractice lawyers in india coz of different laws here.

Medical malpractice- Should I file lawsuit? In 2005 I had surgery to fuse my vertebrae in my neck. It didn't "take", and I had to have a second one to attempt fusion again. This time through the back of my neck.It turns out that when the surgeon did the first one he misplaced one of the screws. I have to take morphine for the pain. The worst part about it is that when he went back in, he didn't repair the first mess-up even though it was obvious on the cat-scan I had prior to the surgery, which is what caused the first fusion to fail. Now I have to have a third operation to repair his obvious error, and it will happen next year. I plan to have a different doctor do it, for obvious reasons. I will most likely have this pain for the rest of my life. I am totally disabled now. I was hurt at work too. Would you file suit? Will I have to pay Worker's comp back? If so, do you think that's fair? Wouldn't you? One last question: Do you think that I'd win my case if I file? Maybe law students could debate this subject.

Can you sue for wrongful death/medical malpractice of an unborn child that wasin the mothers womb for 9months? So heres the story, my sister in law was due for a scheduled C-Section this past Tuesday the 3rd of June. She wound up going to the hosp on Monday morning because she didnt feel the baby move since Sunday. She gets to the hospital and the doctor tells her there is no hope the baby is gone. This was 12noon monday, the doctor didnt arrive to remove the baby from her until 8:00 that night. The messed up thing is the baby died because she didnt have enough fluid and the cord was wrapped around her neck. My sister in law went to the doc 2 weeks ago saying she felt like her water broke and there was blood, they checked her and told her shes ok to go home. But they did NOT give her a sonogram. And she was NOT scheduled to come to doctors appointments the last month of her pregnancy. Her last appointment was May8, they scheduled her for her C-section on June2 and said bye see you then.The hospital/doctor had no remorse, they were even laughing during the c section.Do you think this is case?

How can lawyers charge what they want, but make laws about medical costs and milk costs?? Lawyers are making laws about how much people can charge for services. They make laws about malpractice and medical insurance, yet it seems they can charge $350.00/ hour without having to be accountable to anyone, and the Bar Association makes it harder to pass in some states to avoid competition. Does this seem ethical? Most representatives that make the laws went to law school and have a law degree. What I meant is that those people with law degrees making the laws are not regulating how lawyers can treat their clients, but are regulating how doctors treat their patients. Someone should be regulating the quality of services that lawyers provide just as a doctor's practice is regulated for the quality of medicine--if a doctor misses something, he can be sued. It should be same with lawyers not doing a good job.

Anyone know anything about medical laws or regulations regarding Episiotomy? I just gave birth to my daughter on the 11th of this month and I had what my doctor called a star cut and episiotomy which he used only his hands/fingers to rip me open during the process according to my husband, I wasnt paying attention at the time considering. Is that legal to use your fingers to tear a woman open for labor or is it procedure to have to use scissors? He also was the one who stitched me up and because of too much pain I went back and found out he left a gause inside of me that was there for a week and 2 days, which following I got a UTI, dont know if the bacteria from the gause might have been what caused all of this? If anyone knows anything about all of this please let me know if things were done right or if I should report any of this if it is serious or any form of malpractice. Thanks!

What is the best way to prepare for a deposition? I am scheduled to give my testimony for my child's medical neglect/malpractice lawsuit soon. I am very nervous about it! The event has forever changed my son's life and has left him medically fragile. I don't want to do or say anything that will have a negative impact on his case. I feel like his whole future is in my hands with what I say. Of course, I'll speak nothing but the truth, however, I know that the truth can be twisted by nasty opposing attorneys. Can anybody here, with experience in law or personal experience, give me some advice as to how I can prepare for this very stressful event?

Thank you for your responses, I appreciate it! Does anyone have any tips about how I can remain calm, cool and collected? Does anyone know what some usual tricks are by opposing attorneys?

If health care costs are an issue, why do dems support trial lawyers & frivolous law suits? An obvious solution to the problem is capping the jury awards on negligence and personal injury lawsuits by tort reform. Medical providers pass on a huge expense to the consumer for malpractice insurance and run many needless medical procedures all because of greedy and unethical trial lawyers, who prey on the medical community. Michael Moore did a biased documentary on health care costs but instead of targeting the true villians- trial lawyers, he simply carried the socialist flag and attacked corporations (the mortal enemy of socialists). Did you know the USA is the only large country in the world that does not apply the English rule of law, where the losing party pays the winning party. Only in America, someone can file a frivolous law suit, hiring a trial lawyer on contingency (the parasite takes 30% - 40%) causing the defendant to spend unlimited funds to defend themself & if the palintiff loses, he doesn't reimburse the defendant for the costs they incurred. Huh?

Can you give me some career ideas? I have hit a wall in my job search and I would love your help! I was a journalism/advertising major in undergradute. I went to a good state school in the Midwest and graduated in the top 1/3rd. I learned a great deal about writing, branding, marketing, sales and design (among other things). However, I decided I wanted to go to law school. I went to another good school in the midwest and finished in the middle of my class. I then moved to California and took the bar and passed on the first try. My legal experiences include: clerking for a year for a state civil law judge, interning for a British criminal law barrister, clerking for a medical malpractice defense firm, and working as a legal contract temp attorney on class action and patent cases. My other talents include photography, writing, and doing just about anything on a computer. So my question is, what advice do you have for potential careers, both traditional and non-traditional? All suggestions are welcome
