?? Sure, maybe. If there is a valid credible case.
That depends, first upon whether the ER 'discrimination' and lack of proper diagnosis and care occurred recently enough to not be barred by the Statutes of Limitations.
Next, on whether his current treating physician for 'brain injury', or some other retained medical expert in that field, would be willing to review his medical records and file and do an examination, and then testify in court and give his expert medical opinion that the injury was caused by the supposed lack of care in the ER and that was clearly medical malpractice.,
Next, on what physical damages, medical expenses, and income loss were suffered, which are some of the main aspects of case value.
If you can meet those conditions, then any good PI / MedMal plaintiff's attorney would be willing to discuss being retained. If in the opinion of the attorney the case is valid and valuable, he may be willing to take the case.
