what is the statue of limitation on a malpractice suit

My mother has renal failure, she has had 2 kidney transplants. One in 1993 and one in 2007. The second one has failed, and the dr’s are saying it is her fault. She was ill, flu like symptoms, she didn’t have any pain or any symptoms that it could be her kidney so she didn’t think anything of it. She had called the hospital, but the dr’s there told her to call her family dr. So she did, she went for an evaluation for the dr’s to see if they should put her on the list again and they are refusing. They also want her to sign some kind of contract. Could this be a possible case, since they are pretty much telling her that she has no choice, they are just going to let her die.

I had an abortion 6/10/10. A couple of days after the procedure, I started bleeding profusely. I called the place and they told me it was normal. I knew it wasn’t because the bleeding was way too much. I went to the ER and they did an ultrasound and told me that the procedure was incomplete and remains were left inside of me. I have been experiencing cramping, loss of blood, and low iron because of this. Now the ER dr told me I need to go under another surgery to get the rest removed. Do I have any type of case with this?

My mother recently underwent a gastric bypass surgery. The doctor said due to her scarring from her c-section and removal of her gall bladder, he wasn’t able to perform the gastric bypass. Since he didn’t want to go through the inconvenience of waking her from the anesthetic and putting her under again, he made the decision on his own, without my mother’s knowledge to give her the gastric sleeve which is a relatively new weight loss procedure that she knew nothing about. Could she sue or would it be

My daughter was seen by a mobile school’s dentist on 3/15/10. He performed a filling on her teeth and also filled a tooth that has been crowned silver by my primary Dentist, which was obtained 9/15/2009. At the time I signed my daughter up for the Dental Acess (mobile dentist) she did not have a primary dentist. She was complaining of a tooth ache and I was finally able to get her into a Children’s Dentistry. My daughter’s primary dentist showed be before and after x-rays of the worked performed by her and the other dentistry. She told me there was no way that the Dental Acess dentist, that came to the school should have went over her work, and he has now cause one of my daughters molars to be extracted prematurely. I have contacted the dental license board with a formal complaint. I would like to know what my options are legally. Thanks

My Father is 83 and is in and out of the hospital regularly for numerous ailments. He just went in again a few days ago for a leg infection and the hospital mistakenly pair him in his room with someone with a mrsa infection. He was in the room for 3 days before anyone noticed and moved him. The Hospital says it’s no big deal but we are furious. Is there any recourse?

Hi I’m 15, and about 5-6 months ago I had hernia surgery due to a sports injury, and I caught MRSA post opt, and had to have another surgery and was in the hospital a few days on antibiotics, and a month or so later I caught it again, but on a different spot, and the doctor told me it was the same strand I had in the hospital, is there any way I can receive compensation from this?

I have just recently had a situation occur that my family is saying I should pursue. I’m not sure what to call it and if there is a case.

I have just been released from the hospital after spending a week there for major chest surgery. A surgery that should have been preformed 5 + years ago due to my car accident and was mistakenly missed, this has had me in different levels of pain ever since.

As soon as a month after the car accident in which i has hit by someone missing a stop sign.
I was dealing with the pain Not he usual “healing”…and being told to “get used to it” it will be there forever. This pain to me was not normal by any means and prevented me from doing so many things in daily life. Simple things such as running to get the newspaper on a cold morning, vacuuming the house, playing with my boys…and so on. I could do these things but I always paid for it in the initial pain and the pain soon after. Sometimes lasting at higher levels for hours to days.

It had been getting worse “Levels of pain and durations” And I have been telling my doctors almost every time we met that it hurts… they always said…. mentally get over it. ((I think they were just sick of me saying it) Lastly!:

I was told as recently as January 18th (Exactly this) ..that the “pain” was in my head. And what I needed to do was to flip a mental switch to resolve it.. I was asking for the 20th+ time for a medication switch, there had to be something else to relieve this chronic pain that this doctor (My Central Doctor, who each other doctor sends his reports to) something else for me, it has been hurting for FIVE YEARS and I Have been complaining for five years to have another look, he just said it would be a waste of an MRI.

This doctor was visibly annoyed and said the following, “David, do you have any idea how many people in this office deal with chronic pain!”
I said that I didn’t care and what I wanted was for the pain to stop. life was and is almost unbearable living with it. He again referred to what he and the others were saying. “get used to it”

Well I finally had enough of it, It hurt and on Feb 15th I went to the emergency room to explain and ended up having emergency surgery that day. The surgeon stated what I was living with had stemmed from my accident and the thought of getting used to it was nonsense. And over time would have done much worse things internally. Why did it take the emergency room to sort things out. (I’m getting my 8 or 9 inches of staples out of my chest next Monday. and I’m sitting here popping Percocet and using a breathing machine)

Guess that “Mental Switch” might not have worked out so well.
