If i wanted to find a lawyer in San Diego california to help in a medical malpractice suit how would I do it. The doctor did a routine surgery and the instrument failed and I was in a coma for 3 months, icu 87 days and in the hospital a total of 6 months. The doctor blames a tool for the problems.

The surgery was on May 2, 2006, what are my options, who could handle this.

I am crippled and in utter pain from this surgery. I was perfect before

My uncle passed away last week due to hospital error. He was a single man with no children. Can my family file a medical malpractice suit on his behalf? Or can only a spouse or son/daughter sue? This is in FL. Don’t know if each state is different?

I believe we have a reason to file a medical malpractice suit for something that occured a long time ago. I understand that some cases can be valid if the patient realizes later that some form of malpractice has occured, but is there a such thing as too long? This isn’t an out-to-get you-kind-of-thing, more of wanting fairness.
