Could i file a law suit for malpratice?
Answer Yoiu are describing what must be malpractice, Should you sue? Probably not.
You leave out some important information, mainly your age, the number of pregnancies you have had, and whether or not you had other miscarriages. However, even without that information what you describe points to negligence. Either the delivery of the fetus was poorly done ahd placenta left behind, and they told you they had done a D&C, but they had not. Either one of these would be a basis for a lawsuit. But that needs to be shown in a lawsuit is that you have suffered an injury. This injury must be the result of what they did or did not do. It is not the original miscarriage and the lousy care you got for that. The injury must be a result of what they did. Now, I hope nothing happens in the future,, but if something does, for
instance that you have a real problem becoming pregnant, or that you have an infection that muist be treated and causes you lots of pain and money spent, or some other injury. We can only guess what might happen, but it has yto happen or you will not have 'damages' or what a lawyer needs to sue for. But talk to a lawyer. Maybe with a good interview of you and your mother he can find a reason to sue.
