A: It's possible it could be. You could arrange a consultation with a med mal attorney in California. Many offer free initial consults. If the law firm felt that there could be the basis for a case, they would request your medical history and surgery records and review them with a medical professional. These cases are typically handled on a contingency basis, meaning that the firm would only be paid attorney fees upon a favorable jury verdict or settlement. Good luck
