... my dad died in june 2003 and not only did I lose my father I gained a lot of drama and sh!t after words.
When my dad past away in june he was on a trip to Delaware to watch the NASCAR race they were having there through a trip at work! To make a long story short... my father was drinking on the bus with a bunch of his buddies and when the bus made a stop in Delaware my dad stepped out of the bus at the rest stop then fell down a steep hill and hit his head!
So they rushed him to the hospital in an ambulance to the ER. While in the hospital he got stiches put on his head and the ER wanted to give him a CT to make sure his brain wasnt damaged. Well my father didnt want one ( but in their own right the hospital can check before he leaves ) so they gave him a sedative to knock him out when he was intoxicated, which is a no no! Then after they took the CT of his head they (which came back negative anyway! ) They locked him in a room with no crash kit or monitoring system and with his hands tied down!!!!!!!!!! So even if he was awake he couldnt call for help!!!!!!!! ( thats three strikes as aughtsix would put it! )
So what happen? My father went into respiratory arrest!!!! Twenty minutes he stopped breathing!!!!! The wouldnt have found him if his girlfriend hadnt a showed up!!!!! So once they revived him my fathers girlfriend called me because they couldnt do anything without me ( next of kin ) so I went there and saw my 53 year father on a respirator and monitoring system. They said that " he should wake up soon he was sedated we just lowered his drugs so he will wake up!!!" I said "Good I am glade he's allright." After they lowered the drugs we waited... and waited... and waited!!!! Finally my mom who is an Rn in a CPICU who was there too for me emotionally and to help me with medical questions said " Matt I am a little worried your father should have woken up by now!!! Something is wrong!!!!" So she looked at his record and just then found out the he was under respiratory arrest for 20 minutes!!!!!! My mom ( who has been divorced from my father for more than 20 years) got upset and then she told me!!! And even I knew that they were wrong!!!
I told them to do a scan of his brain waves so they did and it showed that my father had sugnifficant brain damage and my mother noticed that he was starting to show signs of brain damage in his vegatative state!!! He was starting to posture and he was showing negative responses to pain!!!! He even was starting to "suckle" on his resperater tube!!!!!
Thats when I lost it!!!!!
So here I was at 22 being put in the position to let my 53 father go because some retard cant do their job right!!!!
Sounds like a malpractice suit right?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
RIGHT!
Also my father was legaly seperated from my stepmother for then 5 years!!! He never ( for whatever reason ) took my stepmother off from being the benificiary of his life insurance!!! They would have been divorced years ago but she wanted his pention and he wouldnt give it to her!!!! BUT, in the legal seperation agreement my step mom waived her right to recieve life insurance from my father!!!!! But she didnt want to give the money to me!!!!
So what did I do?
!!! I got a lawyer who turned out to be one of the best lawyers in the state!!! Good right? NO FUKKIN WRONG!!!!!!
I had to make a settlement with her!!!!! As if she deserves anything!!!! She even lives in Pennsylvannia with a retired Army Ranger and is living a whole new life! I guess what would happen was that is would take three years for us to get a court date and all it would do is cost more money anyway!!!
So we split it down the middle!!! 50/50 BUT, al of this took a year and a half!!! My lawyer couldnt come up with a settlemen in less time than thay?
Also he didnt return my calls and on top of that was late to appointments!!!!
When I worked on the step mom thing with him I also showed him the wrongful death suit!!! He said "Well lets take care of this settlement and your fathers estate." ( I was administrator of my fathers estate ) So when all was said and done I sold my dads car, house, boat, truck and other things we went ahead and and asked him if he wanted to persue the malpractice suit and he said "NO"! ( My fathers girlfriend also ran off with all of his furniture without my permission but I wont get into that! )
So that whole time I could have persued the wrongful death suit and didnt because he "couldnt make up his mind on what to do!" I dont know what you guys know but these things have a time limit!!!! Its two years in NY but I dont know what it is in Delaware!
Also he has had the settlement from the life insurance for about 2 months and I still havent seen my money!!! My dads debt is $14k he could just keep that and give me the rest!!!! Its insane!!!!! Plus on top of that he gets a poop load of money for doing a lousy ass job!
But I did get a new lawyer for the wrongful death case and he says he'll take it its just a question as to how much i am getting!!! This new guy is awesome he is also telling me if its a year to act on the case in deleware or you cant act at all I can sue the sucky lawyer for holding on to the medical records as long as he did without taking the case!! He also says I should report him and chew him out to get my money!!!
I like this guy a lot better!!!!
Sorry didnt have time to fix typos sorry!
