Take plenty of photos, accumulate reports and get the names and addresses of all doctors and hospitals. Further tell your boy to keep a pain diary in which he writes down how he was disabled by the hand through either pain or disfigurement. Most importantly, get to a lawyer right away.

You need a lawyer who has experience in medical malpractice military and federal law.

My office would be glad to speak to you about this case. You may reach me by following the links below.

Good Luck.
