My surgeon clipped the tube from kidney to bladder. I had to return to surgery for repair one day after released from hospital.

You will remain responsible for the bills. I you file a medical malpractice case, any out of pocket expenses that you incur will be part of your damages in the case if you prevail. Additionally, your health insurance carrier will likely assert a lien for any bills they paid.  You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state).  Personal injury attorneys take  cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts. If you are unable to find a lawyer who meets these qualifications within your state, sometimes you may contact an out of state lawyer who can refer you to a qualified attorney in your state while providing support related to the issues of medicine.

I will do nothing further to protect or preserve your interests in the absence of any additional discussion with you about this matter. John Ratkowitz, Esq.
