Re: my six month old baby died 3 days after ER visit
I have represnted many people in your situation, and know how hard it is from personal experience. First my sympathy. Second, my advise. A malpractice claim may be present but requires a detailed review of the records and the retention of a doctor who after the review is of the opinion that there was malpractice. This will require more information then can be done by e-mail. If you would like a free personal consultation please call me at 818-760-0100 and I will meet with you. Please remember that any action must be filed within one year of the baby's passing.

Medical Malpractice is extremely hard to prove. You have to show that the doctor knew something was wrong and was negligent in treatment of the condition. Having written proof is the first step in prooving your case. I would also go immediately and get a copy of your child's medical records. You never know if something will be destroyed to cover tracks. I would need additional information before I could tell you whether it is worth going through the pain of a Court battle. If you would like a free consultation please feel free to contact my office toll free at 877-546-9918. I hope I can help.

It certainly sounds like this matter warrants further investigation. You should request a copy of any and all your son's medical records. To do this call each medical provider and ask who to direct a request for copies of the records and send your written authorization requesting the records.
I would be happy to meet with you to discuss your case. HOwever, be aware that you will need to act relatively quickly. There is a statute of limitations and depending upon who the treating physicians/hospitals were you may have to meet deadlines for the filing of administrative claims.
In Southern California call me at 805-494-6557.
