She is really the one i want to get back on at he most. but I will take all of them down if I have to, they sure as fuck didn't mind taking me down, with a house payment and 2 new car payments. |
there is a cap on lawsuits for medical employees which varies from state to state ( i believe) now if your attorney can prove the person intended to maliciously harm you then the cap is removed and the jury can award punitive damages (meant to punish) but it doesnt look like this is the case.
Im no attorney but if this was in fact the direct reason and cause for your loss you may be have a case.
The problem you will run into is finding an attorney that will take this on a contignency fee. which they would get %30 of any fees awarded.
more than likely this case would have be put on retainer. and all court cost fees, depositions, subpeonas, billable hours would be paid by you.
even in this case attorneys may shy away cuz they are blood suckers and go for the easy accidental death injury cases, the ones that are easy open and shut and require no work and pay well.
Even in Rush Limbaughs case prosecuters tried to subpeana his doctors and the judge rule that dr. client confidentiality would not be allowed to be broken. and prosecuters had to make their case without his dr.'s while under their care.....LIKE THAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT WERE YOU OR I.
I almost went into the medical field so know a little about the oath but its been many yrs and im sure lots has changed but your case is exactly why there is no disclosure.
Good luck
