What is the name of your state? Colorado
My son was diagnosed with epilepsy in March after his 1st seizure. He was put on medicine and told not to drive for 3 months. On May 23rd he saw the Dr. and was told he was cleared to drive and she drew blood to check his medication levels. On May 31st, he had a seizure while driving and hit a light pole knocked down 3 fences while driving through 2 yards and hit a cable box. We saw the Dr. today who said his blood levels where at 4 and they should be at 10 so she increased his medicine. Why didn't she check that before she said he could drive? Colorado has no laws about this, and there are no standards for Lamictal levels in blood that I can see, but this is apparently her standard. His truck is totalled, he was slightly injured, his insurance will be substantially increased. He is very depressed and can't drive for at least 3 more months. Is she negligent for not checking his blood levels before he started driving?
