Patient Files Malpractice Lawsuit Claiming she fell from Operating Table during Surgery

A woman recently filed a lawsuit alleging medical malpractice occurred during her appendectomy on April 18, 2014.

The lawsuit claims that the patient fell from the operating table while doctors were attempting to tilt it sideways to gain better access to her appendix. As a result, the woman said she suffers health issues, especially prolonged pain and complications to her neck and shoulder.

The surgeon, anesthesiologist, as well as the hospital are named as defendants. The plaintiff is seeking an undisclosed amount in damages.

The plaintiff’s attorney said details about the incident are scarce because of Washington state law that gives caregivers immunity to discovery or disclosure when medical malpractice is alleged.

“There’s a lot of what happened to her that we’re going to have to use other legal means to find out,” the attorney said. “What kind of operating table was it? Who had the controls for the tilting the table? Was it controlled by foot pedal that the surgeon was operating? We don’t know because they haven’t told us.”

If you believe that you have been injured by medical malpractice, an experienced attorney can help determine if you have a viable case under the laws of your state. Medical malpractice cases are complex, and often take years to settle. This case will undoubtedly be no different.

No one has unlimited financial resources; most victims already live paycheck to paycheck. Add unexpected medical expenses to ordinary financial obligations and a plaintiff could quickly face financial devastation.

Plaintiffs with attorney representation and a strong case with merit often find financial relief through litigation funding. This lawsuit cash advance is provided risk-free, usually within 24 – 48 hours.

The process begins with a one-page application, completed online or over the phone. Next, a funding specialist at Lawsuit Financial will request case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney. The application and documentation are reviewed, and if the case is approved for funding, we will send the funds via overnight mail or wire transfer once a contract is signed. We required no upfront fees, credit check, or employment verification. The most appealing benefits of litigation funding is that there are no payments until the case is settled, and if the case is lost, the cash advance does not need to be repaid.

If you believe you or a family member has been seriously injured from medical malpractice, a medical error, or the negligence of a health care provider, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Once your lawsuit is filed by an attorney, contact Lawsuit Financial so you can wait for a fair settlement without the financial pressure to settle too early for too little.
