1. My child has been diagnosed with scoliosis.  What do I need to do now?  

ANSWER:  BE PROACTIVE!  The most common claim made against a patient is that the parent/patient was negligent in taking care of his/her own child.  In other words, expect for the parent to be put on trial.  If in doubt, get second or third opinions about your child's scoliosis treatment.

2. Will my case be suitable for your firm?

 ANSWER:  MAYBE.  Some of our most successful scoliosis malpractice cases were ones that initially seemed like poor cases.  We must get all of the medical records to make an informed decision.  BE CAREFUL IN REQUESTING YOUR CHILD'S MEDICAL RECORDS.  IF A DOCTOR, CLINIC OR HOSPITAL THINKS YOU ARE SEEKING MEDICAL RECORDS FOR POSSIBLE LITIGATION, THE RECORDS ARE OFTEN ILLEGALLY CHANGED TO PROTECT AGAINST YOUR LAWFUL CLAIMS.

3. What are the major consideration factors?

ANSWER:  There are many different factors.  Non-surgical treatment of scoliosis is common and very successful if a parent is vigilant.  If a child's scoliosis becomes too advanced without proper treatment, the scoliosis will reach a tipping point and surgery will be needed.  The factors are what was done before the tipping point is reached.
