Contact a lawyer who specializes in personal injury in the area where the alleged malpractice occurred. Your initial consultation on something like this would probably be free and, if you explain your circumstances, you might well be able to "meet" your attoreny over the phone.
Find out what county this happened in and then go to www.AttorneyPages.com to look up a personal injury attorney.
