A: You may have a case, but it is impossible to provide you with a comprehensive evaluation of the merits based on the limited facts provided. I would recommend organizing everything your possession related to this situation, and consult with an attorney individually. Do not make a statement until you do so. A knowledgeable attorney will review the details, and advise you as to the best course of action moving forward. Many of us offer free consultations, so it will not cost you anything to obtain a professional's opinion that is tailored to the details of your situation.
A: Contact a member of the Illinois Assn for Justice that handles medical cases. They give free consults. Be aware that a bad outcome isn't malpractice. Malpractice is if you got a group of doctors and 90% would do something different. Get the consult.
