QUESTION

Went to a plasma center today, stuck me wrong, damaged my arm.

Asked on Nov 04th, 2012 on Medical Malpractice - Idaho
More details to this question:
I went in, the technician put the needle in my arm, and she started wiggling it around, causing shooting electric pains up and down my arm. Seeing that I was obviously in pain by my telling her to stop, she called two more nurses in to wiggle the needle around for a second before I told them to take it out and let me leave. What kind of lawyer do I contact to sue?

Medical malpractice cases are very costly and time consuming for lawyers to pursue, and in most circumstances attorneys will not take them on unless a patient suffered a significant permanent injury that causes substantial disability as a result of the medical mistake.  Unless you can demonstrate that the actions on the part of the medical staff resulted in permanent disability, you do not have a financially viable malpractice case.  If you suffered significant harm, and you want to investigate a malpractice case, you should contact a local medical malpractice attorney (one in your state).  They take these cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are usually free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research medical malpractice attorneys.  Then, visit each attorney's website and look for a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.  Below are some articles you may find helpful.  They are written for a New Jersey audience (where I practice) but the ideas discussed in these articles usually apply in most other jurisdictions as well.

I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
