You should contact local medical malpractice attorney (one in the state where the malpractice occurred). They take these cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed. Additionally, initial consultations are usually free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research medical malpractice attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and look for a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.
If you have trouble, you might also consider contacting the American Bar Association's Military Pro Bono Project. They have experience referring military people to attorneys who work in the private sector.
