Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Greetings everyone: I know some time ago we were discussing the possibility of sueing the doctors and the ER doctors. I personally wanted to pursue this when the hospital took me mistaken by another patient and almost killed me. I just found out the statue of limitation in California is ONE year from the minute you are diagnosed(or admitted their mistake). Needless to say even one hour past the time can not be considered a case regardless of your situation. Also I found out that mal- practice lawyers have no interest in purseing this kind of cases because its hard to find doctors willing to testify against each other and because unless you have had a major stroke, heart attack, loss of a limb or death, the lawyers will not be interested in going after these cases because they dont consider making much money. If you decide to pay their high fees the most they can sue the doctor or hospital is for the amount of the bill they got paid from your insurance or the amount that you had to pay to the doctor or the hospital. Unfairly said this is very disappointing. But I think its worth pursuing a Class Action Lawsuit on behalf of all of us. Hope someone can take this to serious consideration.
