San Diego: Seeking Medical Malpractice Attorney
Hiya-
Recently I had a total hip and femur replacement due to stage 4 avascular necrosis disease.
It was horribly botched the first time, with 2 severe dislocations and surgeries to realign. Different surgeon than the first who mucked everything up.
A month after the second it was deemed necessary to redo the entire hip and femur protheses- leaving me out of work for 8 months and requiring 3 1/2 months in hospital care.
I am currently only able to work as a SpEd teacher for autism 1/2 time, which physically I am unable to fulfill the requirements of the work, have a lifelong profound limp, and due to the mandated bed and hospital rest and recovery I am left in financial ruin.
I received a letter from the California Medical Review Board stating they had received an anonymous complaint from UCSD with records. They found “gross medical negligence” and recommended I seek “immediate medical counsel for malpractice.”
I have chatted with a few malpractice attorneys and have not connected well with any. There seems to be a rather blasé attitude toward this matter.
I am kindly seeking any recommendations for proven, reputable medical malpractice attorneys available in SD, OC, or LA.
I believe I have about 6-8 weeks before the timeline to file suit expires.
Please do take a moment to consider this query and forward any suggestions. I love my job and I am very good at it and do not feel I should be left without a profession and the security of a paycheck due to the negligence of a provider I trusted with care and who has been deemed unqualified.
Many thanks—
