Your first step should be to contact an experienced medical malpractice and wrongful death lawyer. These cases are technical and tough to litigate. An experienced medical malpractice and wrongful death lawyer 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. After the medical records and hospital chart are reviewed by an attorney, the next step would be having an expert in the medical field also review the case to determine if there is negligence if the circumstances warrant.
