How could if find a lawyer that specializes in medical malpractice, in particular instruments that failed.?


If i wanted to find a lawyer in San Diego california to help in a medical malpractice suit how would I do it. The doctor did a routine surgery and the instrument failed and I was in a coma for 3 months, icu 87 days and in the hospital a total of 6 months. The doctor blames a tool for the problems.

The surgery was on May 2, 2006, what are my options, who could handle this.

I am crippled and in utter pain from this surgery. I was perfect before

I don't know how it is in San Diego but where I live they advertise like car dealers on every channel 24/7.
I'm surprised the ambulance chasers haven't found you!!!

Call the lawyer referral service if your state has that. I don't know if CA does. What you need to watch out for is the statute of limitations though. Many states limit the time in which you can bring a suit for this type of case to two years. You may be running out of time.

just go to the yelow pages it's broken down in there under their specialities !! I'm sorry for your injury !!

Use the phone book to identify attorneys and firms that specialize in medical malpractice. Then call several of their offices and ask if you can schedule a free first consultation. Tell them your story, and see if they will take the case on a contingency, which means they are agreeing to be paid by taking a part of the settlement they negoiate. Otherwise, your expenses could e tremendous. I would think you could find someone to take the case on a contingency basis if they think you have a good case.

yellow pages hello? there is always a personal injury attorney advertising on the covers - you don't even need to open the book to find the first one.
