When to get a Louisiana injury lawyer

For example, you go for your regular checkup and your doctor says you need a hysterectomy. This is a relatively simple procedure that takes a couple hours and a couple days stay in the hospital. After a week, you are back to normal. Most people go back to their jobs without even the need of taking a long break from work after getting a hysterectomy.

But let's say the surgeon does the hysterectomy and accidentally leaves a tool inside after the procedure. You are already sewn up, but while still at the hospital, you feel that there's something wrong. Maybe you are not having normal bowel movements or doing any of the normal activities that a regular person does.

An X-ray or an MRI reveals that there is a surgical piece of equipment left inside your body. Now, not only do you have to stay in the hospital longer and incur large hospital bills while a surgeon goes back inside your body to remove what was left there, you also miss work, you suffer physically and there's always a potential life risk when you have to go under the knife.

As a registered nurse who is now practicing law, Louisiana injury lawyer Shirin Harrell knows all the little intricate details required to navigate the medical ropes as well as the legal ones to work in your favor and bring a satisfactory judgement against the hospital that employs such people as well as bringing a suit against the doctor himself.

But let's not stop at surgical procedures. There are many instances that can qualify as medical malpractice and hence needing the services of a good Louisiana injury lawyer.

When you go to a doctor for a checkup and after a cursory checkup they tell you, "Oh you are ok. There's nothing wrong with you" and then a few months later, you are diagnosed with a terminal disease like cancer, that would be classified as "failure to diagnose a disease."

Chances are, if the disease had been caught earlier, you would have gotten proper treatment like radiation chemotherapy to stop the advancement of the disease.

At Harrell & Nowak, a Louisiana injury lawyer will make sure that you are treated right and remember: the first initial consultation is totally free.
