You should definately meet with an attorney. You have a very involved case that has no short answer and largely depends on the details of your situation. If you are worried about legal expenses, find an attorney that does not charge for initial consultations. You can also work out a fee agreement with your attorney that is contingent on the outcome of your case - meaning you don't pay unless you win money, and the lawyer can take a cut of that money. Look up attorneys that specialize in medical malpractice. Good luck with your case.
