Phalloplasty Accident Malpractice Lawyer

Your case will be evaluated by an insurance agent. He will determine how much your case is worth by looking at the extent of the injuries, the impact they had on your daily life and career, your age, your responsibility in the incident, and much more. Our goal is to ensure that the settlement offered to you is adequate and covers all of your expenses. We will fight to win you the following:

• Medical Bills: There may be various medical expenses stemming from the botched surgery, as well as future costs for corrective treatments, other surgeries, hospital stays, anesthesiologist payments, physical therapy and rehabilitation, medication and prescription drugs, and more. You can have the full extent of these damages paid off. There is no cap on medical expenses in medical malpractice lawsuits.

• Lost Wages: You may not be able to return to work for a period of time after the injuries you suffered in the operating room. You may also not be able to go back to work because of recovery time and additional medical procedures in the future. We will pursue coverage and reimbursement for your wages, benefits, commissions, tips, and more.

• Pain and Suffering: Your emotional damages resulting from the botched operation could result in a large amount of compensation. Pain and suffering injuries are often the most debilitating; they can arise from nearly any incident, whether or not there is any physical harm. They routinely result in weeks or months of emotional pain, stress, anxiety, and more. If you file a medical malpractice lawsuit, you should know that pain and suffering compensation is limited to $250,000.

• Punitive Damages: In the event that you were hurt because of gross negligence or because the doctor intended to cause you harm, you could receive punitive damages, which are additional forms of monetary compensation purely meant to punish the defendant. However, courts and juries often see these damages as excessive or unnecessary, and they are reluctant to award them. Thus, only a seasoned attorney skilled in medical malpractice suits will be able to secure them for you.

We will do everything we can to ensure that you do not have to pay for any expenses and debts related to the incident. If you were injured during a phalloplasty, you were likely not in any way at fault. The doctor, nurse, hospital, or other entity should be held properly accountable. We will pursue the maximum compensation for your lawsuit.

California’s laws dictate that medical malpractice lawsuits must be filed within 1 year of the discovery of the injury, or 3 years of the injury itself. This means that if you did not notice that there was a problem stemming from the surgery until 2 years after you had the phalloplasty, you can still legally sue. However, if you went to the doctor and discovered there was an issue but elected to not take legal action, your statute is actually shortened. The main exception to this rule involves foreign objects left in the body; if there were to happen during the phalloplasty, you would have no statute of limitations to follow, as the time limit is endless.

It is possible for the statute of limitations to be extended past the 2 year deadline. This can occur if you were under 18 years old when the incident happened, as minors cannot legally sue and can wait until they turn legal age to do so – or, alternatively, they can have a parent or guardian sue on their behalf. An operation may also have left you physically or mentally incapacitated, such as in a coma from a wrong dosage of medication, which could allow the statute to not count down until you return to health and awareness. Additionally, the doctor must be present in the state or country; if he leaves, the statute of limitations will be frozen until he returns.

Often, victims and patients do not know what the statute of limitations is or how much time is left on their claims. The main reason claims don’t result in compensation is due to the statute of limitations expiring. If you come to our firm, we will tell you how much time remains, and we will ensure that your case is filed on time.

Too often, attorneys will take on many cases at once and try to blow through all of them. This means that each case does not get the individual attention it deserves, and as a result, victims of malpractice incidents are not given the compensation they need. If your attorney is not working hard on your case, or if he is trying to get you to agree to a small settlement, you should look elsewhere for legal representation. Bad attorneys will settle claims quickly so they can receive their payments and move on to the next case.
