Wanna bet on it ? There's blood in the shark infested waters now. What suit in North Dakota? As for the other lawsuits, your figures are still wrong, as is your reasoning. Sorry, but this is just one idea out of many good ones that you've come up with that has no merit. You've obviously never been involved in litigation. I'm telling you, NO LAWYER WORTH HIS SALT IS GOING TO FILE A $100,000 claim against a pharma!! They'd laugh at such a proposal, trust me. And what plaintiff who DOES bring a suit against these bastards is going to settle for $10,000???? It ain't gonna happen, ever. Tim, come down to earth. The legal system in this country doesn't work like that. It would take more than $10,000 in TIME alone to launch an assault against these evildoers. Lawyers are in this game to make big bucks, not pollute the waters with a slew of nuisance suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 what can happen?? How about going blind from a pseudomonas infection? It has happened in the past - it could certainly happen again. How about a staph infection? That could lead to Necrotizing Fasciitis. I could go on, but suffice it to say that there is a LOT that can go wrong with toiletries and have far more serious consequences than an irritation. A money-back guarantee wouldn't stop me from suing if your products caused me to become seriously ill. Heck, even a rash can result in broken skin, creating an entryway for pathogens. You don't hear about suits because insurance companies are really good at ensuring things don't actually get to trial. And yes, the restriction against flammable products would include anything containing denatured alcohol, and would probably also include many other products that are flammable or have a low flash point.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 >The short answer to your lawsuit question is " Yes ma'am " .< That is wonderful news. I wonder why I didn't hear about this from the media? I am also waiting for the day that the government announces that all children that received multiple vaccines in the 90s and who regressed into autism will receive treatment, that includes chelating at the governments expense.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Felicia... I suspect it would be next to impossible to successfully sue for this. You would have to prove that there was some sort of misconduct. (It's even incredibly difficult to sue a doctor even if there is misconduct.) If a surgeon had a very high percentage of patients who ended up with flatback, then you might be able to prove misconduct. But, even the best surgeons occasionally end up giving patients too little lordosis. It's a very inexact science, and it's hard to judge how much lordosis to build into a spine in the prone position, and what will happen to the patient's spine once they stand up. Regards, > > I have kind of a weird question: Does anyone know of any lawsuits that were ever filed against doctors who performed surgery that resulted in flatblack? Not necessarily the Harrington rod patients because that was so long ago, but more recent cases such as mine - four surgeries since 2000 with my flatback a direct result of the surgeries. I am now standing blessedly straight thanks to my revision surgery with Dr. Lenke in March. > > I have a neighbor who keeps hounding me that I should sue. I don't believe I would have a case because I don't believe there was any malpractice involved, but he doesn't think so. So why don't we sue, and if we don't, why not? Give me a good reason that will shut my neighbor up for good! > > Thanks! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 My husband is an attorney and he told me that he has recently seen another attorney post on a group email list that he was looking for flatback patients. Don't know any other details.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I really hate to be blunt, but...good luck. My flatback causing surgery was in 2007. I had perfect posture prior to surgery & ended up at a 25 degree pitch forward within 30 days after surgery. I ended up at almost a full 45 degree pitch forward within a year.. I called at least 8 attorneys. Basically I got the same answer from each..."You had a bad back before...now you have a bad back in a different way. We can't help you" I think what pissed me off more than being butchered by my surgeon was the fact that if it had happened to ANY of the attorneys I talked to, they would sue in a heart beat. And to add insult to injury, I doubt you would be able to find a surgeon willing to testify that your surgeon was neglegent. I wish I had better news. Can you tell this is still a REAL sore spot with me? I just can't understand how these doctors are still getting away with destroying lives & not having to answer for it. I would be VERY interested to know if you make any progress in this issue..............................Kathy From: Felicia <feliciakramer4@...>Subject: [ ] Lawsuits Date: Thursday, April 14, 2011, 6:48 AM I have kind of a weird question: Does anyone know of any lawsuits that were ever filed against doctors who performed surgery that resulted in flatblack?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I forgot to mention that I think it is also telling that we hear of so few lawsuits regarding flatback. It could be they are either unsuccessful or people are discouraged from doing so right from the get-go because it's a "losing" cause.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 It's due to changes in med mal law and caps placed on damages.
