Get a medical malpractice attorney or a hospital errors lawyer.

But before you randomly pick a name off the yellowpages, consider the following: the experience of the lawyer (check their websites if they really handle medical malpractice and if they’ve won cases) and it would be a bonus for you especially since you’re going up against a big hospital to get a lawyer who handles cases on contingency fee.

It’s more beneficial for you since you don’t really have to pay them until you win the case, in short, "No Win, No Fee".

Contrary to popular belief, it’s nearly impossible to sue a doctor and basically impossible to sue a hospital. Hospitals have a huge sum of money to spend on lawyers and legal defenses. The only way you can sue a hospital is if many people have been injured and you can get class action status.

You want to contact a personal injury attorney who also specializes in medical malpractice. I would find the best one I could. You can get find a really good one by asking around or checking on the internet. You definitely want someone with a lot of experience in this field. Almost all personal injury lawyers have websites where they list cases they have won, etc. Most PI attorneys will take your case on contingency. All the "good" ones do. They only take cases they are sure they will win. And big hospitals have very deep pockets. That is, unless your state has caps or limits on these types of cases. If you were in Oregon, I could tell you the absolutely number one there, as I used to work for him. If not, then I would contact an organization called The Inner Circle of Advocates. Only the top and best 100 personal injury attorneys in the US are invited to join.

Hope this helps.

PS And contrary to what the guy below me says about it being hard to sue a hospital or doctor, that is absolutely not true. Just look at the hundreds of HUGE awards in the first source listed below. The only problem is that because of the amount personal injury lawyers make, all lawyers want to do this type of work, and most of them are not very good at it. That guy must be a doctor or work for a hospital. It is relatively easy to win big verdicts for medical malpractice, because they screwed up!

If you feel that it is a matter of malpractice, then you need a medical malpractice attorney. There is likely a section in your paper yellow pages just for this.

The best place to find an attorney for any purpose is your local bar association. They are also listed in the paper phone book, but you can look them up online. You can go to abanet.org to find both your local bar association, and a direct listing of lawyers.

"Medical Malpractice" :0) If in doubt you can always call your local district attorney’s office for free advice…or a referral.
