I fell on a faulty stair at my apartment. after several misdiagnosis I am told I need neurosurgery.?

Question: I reside in west Tx and do not have insurance. My pain is extreme and cannot deal with a lawsuit at this time..my knee just gives out and I fall if I attempt to use stairs or lift in any way with it. please help.as I have now fell 4 times in the last month since the initial injury.I have had x-rays and told my knee and thigh were broken.not so.then MRI indicated my back is injured and need a neurosurgeon..this is scarey and I need financial assistance. Where should I go and where should I not go..I have heard some Doctors and very bad.

Answers:
I tend to agree with the answer above mine. First you need to get a copy of the consult report (it will have your diagnosis in writing) from a Neurosurgeon, a copy of your MRI films with the written report, and a copy of the recommendations of the Neuro doc. Pay for the Neuro doc somehow, some way. Get photos of the stairs as they are now, standing from both above and below and any relevant statements from other tenants who may have had trouble also. If what you stated about the stairs is true then your next stop wll be at an attorney's office, one who handles personal injury. And it's true that while you may have to pay a retainer (maybe), the rest of the fee will be taken out of the settlement. And, small compensation though it is, the stairs will be repaired too.

you need to get the opinion of a dr and then also CONSULT an attorney, their some attorneys that will wait til your case is won to collect or charge you any fees

First and foremost deal with your health issue. The lawsuit can wait for a bit. You can go to a county hospital and they can help you financially figure out what you can do. There are discounted programs, financial assistance, Payments etc., Good Luck!
