Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Louisiana

My son broke his arm. We took him to the hospital and were advised that it was broken after x-rays were taken. After 2 postponements by the doctor that casted my 6 year old son's broken arm we found that the arm was not set properly. My wife and I do not have medical insurance. My question is this, is the doctor liable for having my son's arm corrected?
