What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maryland.
Hi:
I had total hip replacement in may 2008. Like many others, when I woke I had paralysis to my foot known as Drop Foot. I recently went to see a neurologist, who said that nerve damage was severe, but perhaps not permanent. She would know better in 3 - 6 months. However, Drop Foot conditions will last at least two years, if not permanent.
Is this a good case? Do I continue to see my surgeon? What else do I do now for a malparactice case (not treatment)? What sort of settlement do such cases receive?
I know a lot about the medical aspects of Drop Foot, but nothing about the legal implications. Thanks for any help you can offer.
