can i sue a clinic that specializes w laser treatment even if i signed all the consents?

Question

I had acne leaser treatment with celibre medical group for almost a year. I paid a total of 3900 thru financing. i signed all the consents. on my second of almost 8 or more visits i already verbalized my doubts with the services and true enough the treatment after 1 year did not work. I kept telling them that my condition is not improving and that my condition is getting worse.if i did not sign up thru financing i could have easily decided to stop the treatment and I also verbalized this concern with them. Given the fact that I complained a lot and obviously the treatment is not working they continue with the treatment plan always telling me about the lag effect of laser treatment. At the end of the laser treatments the medical director himself said that it may not be the treatment of choice for me , prescribed oral antibiotics and offered another treatment for free but it also did not work which I think was done iadequately given that its only a bonus treatment

Answer 1

I'm afraid unless they "guaranteed" results or they were negligent then you won't get far in court. They chose a treatment they thought was best and it wasn't but that's not negligence. Unfortunately, people go through numerous types of treatments before finding the one that works. The doctors used their experience to choose your treatment plan but they won't even know 100% if it will work.

I know this wasn't the answer you were probably looking for but before I spent my money on litigation I would have an attorney review the papers. Maybe there's a loophole if not you'll just be out a consultation fee.

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

The amount you spent would best be sought through Small Claims Court. Otherwise you would spend more on the lawyer than the whole thing was worth.
You might get some of the money back if they were not ethical. I don't understand why the fact that you financed the treatments means you couldn't stop them and stop spending the money.
You did sign consent. It seems that you weren't harmed by the treatments, you just felt they weren't working and wanted to quit but couldn't quit paying. You need to figure out exactly what you think they did that was illegal, get all your records and receipts together, with pictures if possible, and file in Small Claims Court. Neither side uses a lawyer, your case is seen before a judge.

Answer 3

You could try to sue, but from what you said, it sounds like they were reasonable with their efforts. I doubt you will win but you can always try.
