How do I find outa hospital’s/doctor’s malpractice insurer?
I recently lost a testicle after having a vasectomy. During the vasectomy the urologist did something that made the left testicle resend upward that caused lots of pain. I then went to a different WI hospital an ultrasound was done (showed both where healthy). They then sent me back to first hospital. A 2nd surgery was done to pex (glue and stitch) down the testicle. After this the pain lowered a little but spread and there is a numb one inch section on the left side of the **** itself. I then went to different hospital and was told that the left testicle had no blood flow and was dying, so it was removed. Should I speak with a malpractice attorney? In Racine , WI.

I am so sorry for the entire situation as it happened. Yes, you should seek help from a medical malpractice attorney as soon as you can. Medical malpractice generally has a shorter time frame in which to bring a suit (statute of limitations) and in some states the attorney needs to submit an affirmation from a doctor who has reviewed your record and states that you have a valid claim. But the consultation and the review by the firm should be free of charge to you. They will be asking you to sign a retainer in case and authorizations for your medical records to review. In the meantime take good care of your self. Good luck.
