How o I know if I have a malpractice or product liability case?

I have a intrathecal pain pump. The catheter broke and the broken piece is still in my spinal canal. Ever since it broke I have been and continue to have problems with my bladder and bowels. I have been told by my urologist that this is due to nerve damage and also told by my doctors that the catheter fragment is in the area where the nerves are located that would control those functions.
