I am sorry to hear about this. I advise that you request your medical records related to this and start calling local attorneys in your area who handle medical malpractice. An attorney will want to review your medical records (most consultations are free) to determine, based on the specific facts of your situation, if you have a case. State laws make medical malpractice cases very difficult to pursue, but based on the limited information you have provided here, it sounds like you may have something. Most states require that an expert witness (usually another doctor) be consulted prior to even filing a lawsuit. The expert will have to testify as to whether the doctor's conduct and treatment fell below the standard of care. Request the medical records and start calling around. Also, be aware that you are likely limited to a three year statute of limitations from the time the harm/injury occurred. Best of luck!
