My Aching Back: Do I Go to Court?

To: Ask the attorney,
My name is John. I am 50 years old. I had a major back surgery at mid 30 which i had to have a pain pump installed in 2000 they changed my pump in April 2008 with which they messed up the surgery and caused me great prolbems with all parts of my life after i went to another dr and he fixed the prolbem in may 2008 the prolbem started again were fluid was leaking from my spine i would like to know if i can hold the first dr for all my trouble please let me know.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH


J:
Thank you for your question and sorry to hear about your problems.  First, I recommend that you continue to seek to obtain the best possible medical care available to overcome the problems you are having.  Second, I assume you are asking a lawyer because you thinking about legal recourse, that being a medical malpractice claim.  If so, I suggest you consider hiring a lawyer who focuses his or her practice on such claims.  That area of legal practice has become very specialized.  Also, be aware that there are strict rules about how and even the timeframe in which such a claim must be filed.
I wish you the best and hope you find relief from your suffering soon!
Sandy
