I agree with Mr. Robins. Most lawyers will provide at least a half-hour free consultation to discuss your legal issue. I recommend you call a board-certified civil trial lawyer in your area.

it is pretty standard practice, at least in the New York area, to offer a free consultation on these types of cases. In fact, since it is also standard practice for lawyers to handle negligence cases on a contingency (i.e. the lawyer only gets paid if the client recovers, in which case the lawyer gets paid a percentage of the recovery), you normally would not be charged for the lawyer's time on such a case. You're smart to make sure of these arrangements before you consult a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that if you call any local lawyer you choose, and tell him/her that you want to meet to consult about a potential negligence case, the lawyer will agree to meet with you for free, assuming that the lawyer handles negligence cases and that your case seems to have some merit.
