Many medical malpractice attorneys provide a free initial consultation to evaluate a case. A good way to proceed would be to find one who does and meet with him or her. The attorney can see if you might have a viable case based on what you tell him or her; and if you might have a viable case, can direct you in how to find further information or evidence to support it.
