The answer to your question is absolutely yes. You cannot properly pursue a medical malpractice case without an experienced lawyer helping you. You will also need an expert in the specific area of medicine to show negligence against your doctor. Without both, aligned up before you pursue your case, you are heading for disaster. You should also be aware that malpractice cases in WI are nearly impossible to pursue and in. I wrote a blog about the difficulties at our web site under personal injury issues. The Milwaukee Journal sentinel did an excellent article about it as well in 2015 or 2016 that you can google and read. If you feel strongly that you want to pursue the case, keep in mind the applicable statute of limitations, which is three years from the occurrence to sue, or your claim will be forever barred.
