A woman has filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the hospital where she had her tubes tied, claiming they didn’t perform the operation correctly.
The woman became pregnant five years after undergoing the procedure. The surgeon who delivered her baby discovered that one of the clips used in the operation had been placed on a ligament instead of the right fallopian tube. The woman also claims that the hospital never performed a necessary servicing of an applicator used in the procedure.
She suffered abdominal scarring as a result of the caesarean birth process. She claims that she has suffered physical and psychological damage as a result of the hospital’s negligent actions. She is asking for compensation for costs of raising an unwanted child and loss of wages, as well as for the physical and psychological trauma she has endured.
If you have been the victim of medical malpractice, it is important to consult an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you receive the maximum compensation you are entitled as a result of your damages.
