Can I sue for being injured at my internship?

Yes, you can, assuming that you can prove the negligence. You were not an employee, therefore you are not covered by worker's comp and so you can pursue a liability action. See an experienced personal injury lawyer in your area. Seriously, this is not something you can do on your own.

Can we file a malpractice case for a missed pelvic fracture in the E.R.?

Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
The problem is, that regardless of the malpractice (even if obvious and provable) these cases are very expensive and time consuming. It takes tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of attorney's time to bring a successful malpractice action. Doctors and hospitals know this, which means they can get away with malpractice if the result is such that it won't be "worth" pursuing from a lawyer's point of view. So the question really is, whether the failure to diagnose has made her recovery significantly more difficult than it would have been otherwise. If so, call a few med-mal lawyers in your area, maybe someone will be willing to take it.

Do I have a malpractice case if it has been 14 months after the surgery and my daughter still has problems walking and lost feeling in her foot?

Whether you have a malpractice case is a complicated question that requires more information than you have provided. You should look for malpractice attorneys on the internet or yellow pages and make an appointment to talk to one. In some cases, you have only 2 years from the surgery to file suit. The attorney will have to get all of your medical records and get a medical opinion as to whether malpractice occurred.
