The second ER loked at me got me stitched up and had a oral surgeon look at me and scheual an appointmen with him to get my teeth taken care of. The did nor CT scan or MRI at thbe ER. I seen my oral surgeon and he took care of my teeth the following day. I went back to him a week later was complaing of server headaches, and he said that was probably from the concussion. Iwas never told at the ER I had a concussion but he said it was in the notes they gave him. The oral surgeon released me but he said he wanted me to see my family DR about the headaches.

It sounds like the medical workers may not have devoted the correct amount of attention in your injury to find the true issue that was occurring. A medical malpractice claim is rarely a cut and dry answer and the best decision is to speak with an attorney from your area that can review the aspects of the situation more in depth. In a medical malpractice case it will need to be proven that the medical staff, such as a doctor, failed to provide a certain standard of care and that their negligence had a direct result on the injury that a patient sustained. This may be an infection, a physical injury or even a misdiagnosis that caused the patient to suffer with the problem for a longer period of time, rather than having the opportunity to start treating the real issue. It is common for medical staff to become calloused and careless in their action. They may begin to write off patients’ symptoms instead of exploring them more; even when only a little more investigation could have led them to the true problem.
