Do I have a law suit?

You are going to have a difficult medical malpractice case because it sounds like your infection was timely diagnosed when you presented with symptoms of that problem. If it was a simple laceration and not a deep puncture one and I don't think accepted standards of care would've required to receive prophylactic antibiotics. It does sound like you might have a significant injury and so you should probably contact the Worker's Compensation Atty. relative to that claim.  You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.  Click here and here for more information about me. Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney. I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
