Negligence

My husband is paralyzed below his neck after he went through a surgery. About 5 months ago, he was diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The doctors had not warned us about the risk. They never specified that paralysis is the probable outcome of the surgery. Also, we were not informed of all his treatment options. There was a possibility of operating only on the part of an aneurysm located in his abdomen. Even though this procedure was more dangerous than the surgery performed, all of the experts whom we consulted stated that it was an option and that it did not carry with it the risk of paralysis. My husband is in a completely vegetative state now. Can I sue the doctors for malpractice?

My colleague was diagnosed with acute appendix pain last week. His doctor advised that he get it removed surgically. This is not the first time I had come across appendectomy as it is a fairly common surgical procedure. However, during the appendectomy, the appendix burst due to the negligent use of surgical clips by the surgeon. This caused peritonitis which is an infection that causes redness and swelling (inflammation) of the belly that can occur if the appendix bursts during surgery. He had to stay in the hospital for a further period of 2 weeks because of the infection. Can he sue his doctor and the hospital for the negligent act in the above circumstances?

I rent an apt in CA. (An unincorporated city). I park my motorcycle in my garage, and my van in my assigned parking space. My son, who is also on the lease, parks his truck in guest parking, as per the lease. I got a screw in the tire of my van, another in my motorcycle, and another in my sons truck, as well as at least one neighbors car. The apartment maintenance guys work out of two garages in the parking area near us. They admitted to sweeping out the maintenance vehicles beds onto the parking lot. I did a magnetic sweep to pick up the steel trash and found at least two dozen screws, nails, staples. I still have the bag full of metallic trash. Can we charge the tire repair, replacement to the property owners? One tire (van) was repaired free, (plugged) as part of the purchase agreement, the motorcycle was temp. plugged by me, then replaced, the truck tire was temp. plugged by my son and will be replaced when he can afford it. The neighbors status is unknown. Value of the van tire is approx $200, Truck tire is $214.31, motorcycle tire was 162.91, for a total of $363.00. What about the van tire? It was plugged for free, but it is still damaged, and should be replaced. This occurred earlier in the year, the other damages occurred within the last few weeks.

My childcare provider neglected to put my 12 year old in a seat belt and instead chose to place him as well as 6 other children plus herself into a 5 passenger jeep. The jeep was T-boned and rolled over. My 12 yr old was ejected from the vehicle and my 2 yr old was trapped inside the crushed door, now the 2 yr old was properly buckled however her negligence on my 12 yr old is inexcusable. Both children miraculously had just scrapes bruises and minor swelling. My family lawyer is specialized in bodily injury and that area. However being a mother I need and want her to realize how much damage her actions could've have caused. Should I seek out a separate neglect specialized lawyer? I'm unfamiliar with the neglect area on this and am unsure if it would be included in a bodily injury specialist?

I am going to file a lawsuit against a hospital for negligence. I have no legal training. Can I count on you to advise me what form to file every step of the way? If so, how long would it take? Once I file the law suit, the hospital will respond. I need someone to tell me what form to file next. For example, I might have to produce a summary judgment, etc. Can you advise me along the way on these matters?
