A: more info is needed

anyone can sue at any time.

However, if the case is not strong enough a lawyer will not take it.

For instance:

What are your damages? did you seek the guidance of a professional after this happened? did the brother have a power of attorney? did you report this to the hospital and what did they say? what did his brother say?

what are you realistically looking to get? I assume he would not have known you were there?
