My son was born last year and suffered severe facial trauma that resulted in 4 reconstruction surgeries so far and he will have more in the future. He was in a malpresentation but it was missed and the OB ordered many things that are contraindicated for his positioning in the birth canal. These contraindications are what caused the trauma and resulting surgeries. To compound the problem the OB did not document things correctly in my medical records (I assume to try to cover his butt) but the NICU records are correct and of course the many specialists my son has seen have documented everything.
So I would really like to recover the money we have spent on my son's medical bills - I am not the sue happy type of person and I really don't know where to start. When I look online it seems that all the medical malpractice lawyers are what I consider ambulance chasers. I would like to sit down with a real person and explain what happened and just get some feedback on if we have a case and how to proceed. Honestly, I don't care about making ANY money from this - I just want his medical bills covered (even with our insurance we have spent thousands of dollars) so we can move on with our lives.
So I guess my question is -
How do I go about finding a legitimate malpractice lawyer? If I look in the phone book should I only call lawyers that have malpractice listed as a specialty? Or is this something a general lawyer could help us out with?
Thanks - any advice is appreciated.
