If this as a product liability claim it will all depend upon what the details of the first case revolved around. That you are are half paralyzed only supports that you may have significant damages but there are often debates as to who caused those damages and who actually can afford to pay for them or the expense and effort to do so. If the first lawyer wont tell you WHY they wont look to the doctor for contribution, then you can take some of your settlement money if needed to retain a lawyer to look at that angle or provide you a second opinion.
