Death after surgery failed diagnosis

My mother passed away last year after a Thoracotomy left her on life support. She was being followed by a specialist who a year prior did a CT but failed to see the tumor in her chest until he compared the current CT and then said in front of the entire family, "ah, there it is". He was arrogant and rude and brushef off her many complaints. Is there a good malpractice lawyer in the SF Bay Area?

Hundreds...It is certainly possible you have a case based on what you say here; you should take a brief description of these events as well as your medical records to a malpractice attorney and see if the attorney thinks you have a claim; often you need to contact several attorneys to find one to take the case; the review of your case and records is often free and then they will normally take the case on a contingency fee basis if they think you can win; you would pay only if they collect for you.

Thank you!
