My jurisdiction is: California/usa
My wife suffered a Pontine hemhorrage (severe stroke) 12/08/2008 because my medical insurance company at the time denied a claim for necessary blood pressure medication in violation of HIPAA.
She is home now in a wheel chair requiring 24 hour 7 days a week assistance to move from the wheel chair to do anything. She can move but does not have feeling in her left arm, leg, right side of her face, and no sense of balance. Bills are over $800,000.00, and I have since lost my job.
Social security was applied for in December of 2008 and is still pending because they think she's not as bad as the 7 doctors seeing her have stated in writing to them. I am no lawyer but I think I should be entitled to some sort of settlement from the insurance company since I have all the documentation from them concerning their denial of the blood pressure medication as well as their denials to allow her to receive medical care to locate the source of the high blood pressure and fix it.
