A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for almost a month. Sorry about your accident.

It may be malpractice. Medical malpractice means that a doctor violated the standard of care. A bad outcome is not enough. Another doctor would be needed to evaluate what the doctors did. Consult with experienced attorneys in the state where this occurred.
