Not inherently, as there are many complications associated with such complex surgeries. You would need to start with a written statement from a doctor that negligence occured, what it was and what the damages are. This needs to be done immediately as medical malpractice cases have very short statutes of limitation, typically only 2 years from the date of the event.
