Julie, I have a feeling B...Thanks, Chris and Julie. Julie, I have a feeling BB would follow your line of thought exactly! What's so scary is that he's continued trying to work and wondering why he's not getting better, and losing income! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the hugs, J!<BR/><BR/>Mary Beth, that's so frustrating. I bet you're right about him finding someone to take the case. I mean, it's not like they can go after who CAUSED the accident, because, well, he did.

Probably not. Since Texas passed the $125,000 limit on malpractice very few cases are being picked up. My friend's sister had back surgery the week before the law went into effect. The doctor messed up, punctured a hole in her siatic (sp?) nerve. She woke up from the surgery screaming and was in horrible pain for months. She's disabled now because she can't sit for any length of time without excrutiating pain, she can't lift things, she can't walk long distances. She doesn't take pain pills any more because she was addicted to them after the first year. It took her YEARS to get a lawyer to pick up the case. Same with the local man who made national headlines after the doctor "accidentally" cut off his penis. Texas malpractice law sucks for victims. All that said, it wouldn't hurt him to try.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-55190349187352998812007-04-06T12:11:00.000-05:002007-04-06T12:11:00.000-05:00Mar, I'm so sorry about your brother...my dad also...Mar, I'm so sorry about your brother...my dad also has broken vertebrae right now, and I know the kind of pain he has endured.

PEOPLE (you know what I'm REALLY calling them) and giving THEM a couple broken vertebra each. <BR/><BR/>Medical malpractice is a weird area of the law and depends a great deal on the state laws in the area, but if I were him I'd DEFINITELY talk to someone and see if they think he has a case. He SHOULD have a case, for sure. <BR/><BR/>I hope he finds a decent doctor and feels better soon. Tell him to lay off the soda, it helps the bones to heal.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710658334966849773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13241994.post-15375232376773164332007-04-06T08:16:00.000-05:002007-04-06T08:16:00.000-05:00Mary, I'll ask my personal resident lawyer when he...Mary, I'll ask my personal resident lawyer when he comes home tonight.
