He had his attorney contact me to settle, so I did.
I just wanted him to know my pet mattered. I also knew I has a slim to none chance to win. I settled for the price I paid for my pup and the total cost of the medical bill he charged me. I didn't want him benefiting from my pets death.
I did file a report with the vet board. This is a joke also, they protect their own. From the stats I've found at least 80% of the cases that are filed are dismissed with no repercussions at all for the vets. No one is watching them, no one tracks this kind of malpractice, abuse, or negligence. There is very little accountability. If I had to over again I would have pushed for pain and suffering too....Because that is what I am still living with today.....
Maybe you can find some helpful info in these links.... Veterinary Malpractice Veterinarian Malpractice
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss..... |
Husband and I are going to file a small claims suit as well. I figured filing a complaint with the board will be a joke. Did you file the small claims suit first or file a complaint with the board first?
