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

Linda Jane Chalat
Answered by attorney Linda Jane Chalat (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Chalat Hatten & Banker PC
Given the facts you provide, your sister probably does have a claim against the emergency room for failure to diagnose the fracture. But it may not be in her best interest to pursue a lawsuit. We estimate that the litigation expenses alone, excluding attorney fees, will run $30,000 to $50,000 for the "average" medical malpractice case - these are costs for which the plaintiff is responsible regardless of the outcome of the claim. Only those cases where there is catastrophic injury requiring significant future medical expenses do the damages warrant the risk of litigating the claim. If your sister suffered no harm in the delay of the diagnosis, then she is probably better off not filing a lawsuit. But if her care and ultimate outcome was harmed by the delay, then she should talk with a medical malpractice attorney. Please keep in mind that you have a two year statute of limitations in Colorado for filing a medical malpractice claim, you must file within two years of the act of negligence or lose your right to do so. Other time limitations may apply.

Can I take my case to civil court if my attorney assigned to my slip and fall case decided to drop the case after one year?

I don't know what you think you mean by an attorney "assigned" to your case. For a slip and fall case, a client hires an attorney. It is the client who decides whether to drop the case. If your lawyer determined that your case was not worth pursuing, there probably was a reason. If the statute of limitations has not run, you can represent yourself, but I doubt that a person in your position would be successful.

Can I sue the fast food restaurant for having blood in my sandwich?

Mark Joseph Leonardo
Answered by attorney Mark Joseph Leonardo (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Dordick Law Corporation
Yes you can sue. You can probably handle the claim, however, without having to file a lawsuit. If you want legal representation, find a personal injury attorney in your area. If you retain an attorney, perhaps the attorney can get your blood tested on a lien basis so you do not have to come out of pocket. Ask about that when interviewing an attorney to hire.
