Re: malpractice/negligence

First, I'm sorry to hear about your mother's misfortune. It sounds both horrible and painful.

While it is impossible to know without hearing more about the specifics involved, and reviewing the case more generally, your description does appear to suggest there may have been some negligence along the way, causing your mom to suffer and lose more than she might otherwise have. In other words, this probably deserves further inquiry.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to talk this through, without obligation.

Re: malpractice/negligence

In a potential medical malpractice case such as you describe, it is important to gather all of the relevant medical records and have a medical expert review the records to determine if any of the doctors who treated your mother failed to comply with "standard of care." This is the standard followed by doctors generally in Massachusetts who treat conditions like the one your mother has suffered from. Because her condition was probably treatable when she was initially admitted to the hospital, a review of her case may well result in a physician finding that there was some negligence, most likely on the part of her doctors. It would be important to see what tests were run on her at the time she was initially admitted to the hospital, and what the initial and subsequent diagnoses and treatment plans indicate about her case.

Cases such as this one are normally handled on a contingency fee basis. Please call or have your mother call for a free consultation.
