I understand the chronic illness because I’m also in kidney failure waiting for a dual transplant. I don’t always think it’s someone fault but in this case it’s only obvious, to me anyway. would having a statement or two from 2 different drs construe as a medical expert?

Understood, thank you!

I’d like to think if it weren’t for the hole he punctured there would have been no way an infection could have set in because like I said I have had no problems with my feet since. I don’t continuously get ulcers. It was one that required a toe amputation because they stuck a hard cast over an...

there was only one law firm that would run my case past a medical expert after I paid thousands but that couldn’t even guarantee the law firm would take my case or even file one. I unfortunately couldn’t go through with it as I only have a disability income now.

Wanted to update a bit! After so many discussions of my case with every lawyer I could think of they are interested until they find out I’m diabetic and say that diabetics are prone to these foot wounds so we don’t want your case. This saddens me because I’m in pain daily and can’tdo the...

thank you! This makes sense! It almost seemed like the lawyers each sent this blanket statement that they couldn’t help me and to seek council elsewhere. No reasoning behind it so I was wondering if in fact just like everyone that they are either short staffed or can’t take any new case...

I guess this is where I’m ignorant. I thought lawyers took mal med cases on a contingent bases but maybe that’s personal injury. I also thought that if I did pay they would at least file and let the court decide it out. Instead I’m paying $3000 to have them read a few pages of my medical...

Curious to know if I could expand looking for a med mal attorney outside my state? I ask because I live near borders of two states and was wondering if they have to be in Indiana to file in Indiana? I’ve reached out to a few attorneys but they turn me away before even seeing any records. One...

Understood. Thanks again for the help.

Thank you both! Id like to think I can tie the amputation to the last dr visit. The dr directly says there is no open wounds. do any of these help a case I may have “Patient is upset today stating "I opened a wound on her foot". States there was no wound there previously. Patient denies any...

What is the name of your state? IN I was seeing a podiatrist/wound dr for a foot ulcer I had. The ulcer did get infected and it required the podiatrist to remove my 3rd toe. I followed up with the podiatrist afterwards and I was healing nicely. After several visits he was going to release me...
