Hello! My name is TJ, and I’m an attorney with over 20 years of experience. Thanks so much for the opportunity to assist you! I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for two years. Three surgeries and progressive paralysis from a misdiagnosis is devastating, and I can only imagine how frustrating this has been.

You’ll need both a personal injury attorney for the car accident and a medical malpractice attorney for the ER doctor’s misdiagnosis. Sometimes one firm handles both.
