Hanford, CA Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

In order to prove a medical malpractice case, a claimant must prove a failure to conform to accepted practice, resulting in an injury. A bad result is not enough, and if it is a "judgment call" by the doctor, there is no malpractice, even if the doctor made the wrong call. In your daughter's situation, pain and redness often do indicate infection. There may also be a question as to whether an earlier, correct diagnosis would make a difference in the ultimate treatment and recovery of the Bell's Palsy. Still, an expert opinion might yield a result that the doctor did not use proper protocols and that had he done so, the correct diagnosis would have been made and correct treatment would have been effective. You would need expert opinion testimony in any event, which will cost thousands of dollars. Do not hesitate to contact a lawyer in your area who handles medical malpractice cases.

Any good attorney is not going to be able to give you a number based on an emailed paragraph. I need to actually read the records from your medical providers. I need to see the photos of the crash and any other investigative reports. I need to get to know my clients on a personal level to make an assessment.

You may need to visit your doc and see if he or she recommends some medication to ease your mood and mind. I'd suggest you consult the Tenants Union in Madison, which has more experience than almost any lawyer in dealing with all kinds of landlord-tenant problems. You might also consult Community Justice, Inc. in Madison. Also you could try the Neighborhood Law Clinic at the Univ. of Wisconsin Law School. Good Luck. I think if you start taking positive steps to get help and have someone to respond to the landlord for you, you'll feel a lot better sooner.
