You should immediately talk to a personal injury attorney who also handles medical malpractice. There are very strict timelines that you must not violate so you should talk to someone right away or you could lose the chance to do something.
I review medical records, create chronologies and perform merit reviews with a strong clinical eye to help strengthen your case.
Please contact me!
