Only an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice will be able to properly address this question. There are some procedures where the bad outcome is the result of negligence and others where it is a possible complication of the procedure. You should probably contact a personal injury plaintiff's lawyer who specializes in medical negligence claims. You usually only have two years to file the claim and it takes a good amount of time to properly investigate it so you probably need to do something soon if you intend to contact a lawyer.
