You usually do need an expert opinion, but your first step should be to contact an experienced medical malpractice lawyer in New York City. Medical malpractice cases are technical and tough to litigate. An experienced medical malpractice attorney will order and look at the records and give you more feedback. Most medical malpractice attorneys offer free consultations to evaluate your case without charging you any money unless a lawsuit is filed and you recover money.
