It depends. Can you prove the misdiagnoses? What was the body part?
Medical Malpractice claims are very difficult and expensive in Alabama. If it's a situation where they were supposed to amputate your left leg, but they amputated your right leg, yes, you have a case. If it is a more complicated matter, it depends.
Any attorney cannot decide if you have a malpractice case without seeing the medical records and evaluating the evidence. They are too involved to be able to give a quick answer.
