I am sorry to hear about this. You might have a case, however, an attorney would need more information from you, including a chance to review your medical records. If you would like to discuss this more in depth, please feel free to contact me at 228-374-9787.
If a medical care provider is recommending you see a surgeon to have any glass removed, it is probably best that you follow that medical recommendation, or get a second recommendation from a different health care provider, to avoid any further damage.
