I am looking to see if I have a case for medical malpractice in Pa
Hi Ashley! To help determine if you have a medical malpractice case in Pennsylvania, can you share some details about what happened? Specifically, what kind of harm or injury did you experience due to the medical treatment?
Suffered a bile duct injury during my gallbladder removal surgery and the surgeon didn't investigate why I was experiencing the same pain after surgery as I did before surgery. I was discharged in pain and barely standing up straight. I had to have * additional surgical procedures due to the bile leak. Now a couple years later I still continue to have stomach pains everyday and horrible acid reflux. I also have repeatedly experienced pain around my belly button followed by stinky leakage after I believe it might be a abscess and could need surgery to fix.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, Ashley. In Pennsylvania, medical malpractice requires proving that the medical professional deviated from the standard of care, causing harm. This sounds like a serious case. Would you like me to connect you with local lawyers who can assist further?
