A friend of mine had a D&C after suffering a miscarriage because she had an incomplete miscarriage at 10 weeks. After she did not get her period back with a couple of months she underwent testing by another doctor and ended up finding out that part of her uterus was removed. She talked to a couple of attorneys who only seem to want to try to get a high amount of money out of the doctor and hospital but my friend isn't interested in taking a ton of money just because these places have insurance, but is trying to figure out what a fair compensation would be since she now cannot have children. She and her husband are also upset that they were not told at the time of surgery or afterwards that there was a problem encountered.
Do you know of a resource to find out what a fair compensation would be for this mistake and the fact that the surgeon and hospital didn't tell her when it happened? I have no idea where to point her to go. Thank you. |
