A: Your inquiry is very vague. Sounds like you filed a Section 1983 civil rights suit while incarcerated complaining of lack of medical attention, which is a valid ground for suit under certain circumstances - but it's hard to tell from your inquiry whether it's ongoing, or a judgment was entered against you. In any event, for this type of case, you need to consult a civil rights attorney, or in the alternative, contact the Florida Justice Institute in Miami, (888)358- 2081, or the Human Rights Defense Center in Lake Worth, (561)360-2523.
