Do I have a case for negligence if I was involved in a car accident 5 years ago which resulted in 3 breaks in my pelvis but no physical therapy was ordered at the time?
Question Details: I am now dealing with a list of complications and a dreadful prognosis. I have a misaligned pelvis, along with massive scar tissue problems. I've been told I will not be able to ever have a natural childbirth if one at all, and may need pain medication the rest of my life. I'm 25 years old.
You should consult a medical malpractice attorney in your area immediately!
You may or may not have a case. Illinois, like most states, has a statute of repose that bars lawsuits if a certain number of years pass from the date of negligence. These statutes seem to be simple but have exceptions. Only a lawyer experienced with medical malpractice in Illinois can answer your question or guide you.
If you truly have a dreadful prognosis, you owe it to yourself to start calling now and don't stop until someone helps or you are convinced that no one can help you.
