My advice is to contact an attorney as soon as possible to further discuss your case.
It is difficult to answer your question without knowing more about your situation. For instance, when and where did the potential negligence occur? What is your current condition? In order to properly evaluate your potential case, a lawyer needs to understand the extent of the harms caused. Then, he or she might ask you to obtain your medical records for an expert to review to determine if your doctor deviated from the standard of care.
