Gwangju Medical Attorney Assistance | Winning a Medical Malpractice Damages Suit

This is the account of the client who requested assistance from the Gwangju medical attorney.

The client visited the defendant hospital with persistent lower back pain and underwent a procedure.

An MRI was then performed, and the defendant hospital's medical staff recommended back surgery.

After undergoing the surgery, the client experienced paralysis, slurred speech, and abnormal symptoms immediately afterward, yet was advised to be discharged.

Alarmed, the client underwent another MRI at a different hospital and was diagnosed with a cerebral infarction.

The client requested assistance from a Gwangju attorney experienced in medical cases in order to file a 🔗medical malpractice damages suit against the defendant hospital.

If a doctor or nurse fails to fulfill a duty and negligence results, that person may face criminal punishment as well as liability for damages.

However, before proceeding with such a suit, clear evidence must be gathered as to whether there was negligence and whether the conduct in question actually amounts to negligence.

Because specialized knowledge and experience are required to make this determination, an ordinary person may find it difficult to gather and analyze the evidence directly.

▶ Article 750 of the Civil Act (Definition of Tort)

A person who causes loss to or inflicts injuries on another by an unlawful act, intentionally or negligently, is liable to compensate for the resulting damages.

Generally, specialized medical staff have a duty of care to recognize that complications may arise from surgery and other medical procedures, and to minimize excessive removal of lesions and manipulation of instruments.

The attorney emphasized that the defendant hospital breached this duty of care, and that its negligence in rupturing the client's dura mater was clear.

In the case of this surgery, temporary after-effects may occur following the operation, but where severe hemiplegia appears, conditions such as cerebral infarction or spinal cord injury may be suspected.

The attorney emphasized that, although there was a duty of care to promptly perform a detailed examination such as an MRI to prevent the condition from worsening, the defendant hospital took no measures other than physical therapy, and the client's symptoms grew more severe as a result.

If you have suffered a medical accident, as the client did, you must gather evidence such as the facts of the case, surgical records, and treatment and examination findings, in order to establish the specialist's negligence.

Because this is a somewhat complex process, consulting an attorney can be helpful.
