A doctor nearly killed my husband by sending him home when he was having a massive stroke. No attorney would take us for under 75,000 retainer, even though they all said it was clear malpractice.
Also California only awards 250,000.00 because it’s capped. There was no point. We gave up. We lost a 6 figure salary as he cannot work any longer. Fucked us all the way around.
