Forreston, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

You should seek immediate treatment for the broken and/or fractured thumb. You need to contact a local personal injury attorney as you have only two years to file a lawsuit for the sustained damages. If you were involved in a car accident at the time of injury, the defendant's insurance company will need to be contacted. Hopefully, you exchanged insurance information. If not, then this information will need to be acquired.

If the truck is titled in the name of the trust, then the trust could be sued if the truck causes bodily or property damage in an accident. Your wife as beneficiary of the trust should not be liable. With this said, you should have the trust document reviewed by legal counsel to obtain a determinable answer.

In order to bring a claim for medical malpractice, you have to (1) obtain all of the records (at $1 a page) and (2) get an affidavit from a "similar health care provider" attesting to that doctor's belief there was malpractice (at your own expense, or the expense of a lawyer who will expect to be paid back out of the proceeds of the recovery). It doesn't sound to me like the possible recovery would be worth all of the expense if your child did not suffer severe, permanent injury and if your medical insurance paid the bills. The law in Florida is extremely favorable to doctors.
