Legal Answers
Q. Is it worth pursuing a personal injury claim against Vons? Offered $25,000.
A: Money damages are based on a lot more than what you have posted, so no one can give you an accurate response. Age, part and future medical expenses, past and future pain and suffering, permanent disability, past and future wage loss, etc. are all things that attorneys would consider in trying to evaluate your case. You will have to speak with Personal injury attorney to discuss these issues to get a sense of how your case is valued.
Q. How long to draft a demand letter for a personal injury case?
A: It depends on the case. Demands letters can be complex, with full argument and evidentiary support for all material facts that support liability, full sets of medical records and billing, and support with comparable cases which have settled or gone to verdict. Without knowing what your attorney is preparing, and whether he is waiting for medical records, billing or lien information from your medical insurer, it is impossible to say how long it would take to prepare.
Q. Surgeon performed unauthorized colpocleisis at California hospital without my consent. How can I sue them?
A: You will need to retain a medical malpractice attorney. If you had recurrent proplapse, colpocleisis might have been the best available option, but it would seem that your surgeon should have obtained consent before proceeding. I review of your medical records by a surgeon and attorney to determine exactly what happened seems to be in order.
