I had an ingrown toe nail re-removed, foot surgeon this time, he said last Dr. used bad technique, w/lots of needless pain.

Based on what you described, the expenses of pursuing a case would likely exceed any recovery. Malpractice cases are very expensive to pursue. You can always discuss with a local malpractice attorney. The one positive aspect, is assuming this was done by a podiatrist, in my experience local podiatrists are not shy about testifying against one another.

I agree with Mr. Tolin, the injury value of your case makes it economically not feasible to proceed. Because of the expense most attorneys would not want to handle the case.

If your damages are primarily pain and suffering during the procedure and there are no permanent physical damages, it is likely that you would spend more than could be recovered in a medical neglience claim. You can always report the doctor to the licensing board, but I am not quite sure that this rises to the level where he would be disciplined.

I don't see a question
