You have a claim for malpractice; whether you can prove it remains to be seen. First, a med. malpractice attorney will have to review the case (in many states, a licensed physician would also have to review the medical record and certify that there is a viable claim). Second, a lawsuit will have to be filed and a discovery (investigation) be conducted. Depending on its results, the doctor's and the hospital's malpractice insurance will either settle the case or proceed to trial. In any event, if you are hurt, don't wait too long before talking to an attorney because claims against many hospitals have to be preserved by filing a notice within a very short time.
