I am a quad, c3 , incomplete,8years post.I sustained an
injury on my head that had left a compression on my cervical spine.But
I was not paralyzedexcept for weaknesses on my arms and legs. I was
fully independent and was active.Anyway I was referred to saudiarabia
for further treatment(from Ethiopia ). The operated on me but I became
quadriplegic as a result of the doctors mistake. This was proved by an
independent doctor. Infact the hospital has kept me under it's care ,
inpatient for three years.
I have sued the hospital before going back home(five years
ago).I have submitted all the evidences--disability report,video(pre
and post operation). The regional medicolegal committee where the case
has been suspending for five years could not decide.Indeed the
committee has asked us to agree and the hospital wanted to pay
something very minimal(about five thousand dollars) and close the
case.I know this Is not a compensation for a 100% disability.
What legal procedures and actions are required at this
point? Anybody who knows about the legal systems in Saudi Arabia?any
knowledge of free legal advice and service(international) that can help
on this matter?
Thanks for the assistanse.
