Question: There is 8 years ago my daughter got a meningitis!?
There is 8 years ago my daughter got a meningit (kind of pnevmoquoqe bacteria)!. So the years pastand 3 years ago we found finally that she can't hear with one ear,the test was passed and it was confirmed by specialist ,that she is deaf on one ear!. for past years we have searched for many specialist in hope to do something but they sayed if it was in early years ,just after the illness it was been no problem to do something ,but now it;s too late!. But just after the hospitalisation(she was 1!.5 years old ) she passed audition test and they said that she hear perfectly no anomalies, and we found that actually she is deaf after 5 years after test!. Do we have rights to do something and ask for recompansion!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Most states have statutes of limitations, meaning that you only have a limited amount of time to file a malpractice suit!. Most states have a limitation of 2 years since the incident or the discovery of the incident!. If you can prove through her medical files from the original hospital that your daughter did have a hearing problem and they didn't do anythig about it or maybe did the test wrong, then you might be able to file a suit!. However, malpractice suits are very difficult to initiate!. President George W!. Bush passed legislation years ago that makes it more and more difficult to sue doctors, no matter what the circumstances!. You can call your state Attorney Bar Association (look in government pages in phone book or call 411) and speak with an attorney to see if you might have a case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
