Firstly gather all the information you can, medical records, doctors statements, witnesses etc. Then go on line and do a google search for free legal advice, choose a firm that specialises in medical negligence then you can get them to assess ur case and see if its worth going further,
P.s you might wanna add some more specific info to your question so someone with legal knowledge can help you better.

You will need to speak to a lawyer that specialises in medical malpractice cases as they can be very complex and may take several years to resolve.
Concentrate on the facts of the case as you know them and obtain names of any relevant witnesses so that your lawyer can obtain statements from them while the incident is still fresh in their minds.
Once you have contacted a lawyer leave the matter with him/her as they will know how to work within the system. The health authority involved has a set time period to answer initial complaints and will need time to speak to those involved.
If the matter is clearly going to court then you will need to be patient as the case will be drawn out over several years - 4 years being quite common, but sometimes longer. There is nothing you can do to make the process go any faster, so patience is required. Remember, the truth will come out and if negligence is proved you will win your case in the end.

Before contacting a solicitor contact the BMA and the Health Service Ombudsman otherwise you may find youurself involved in a very lengthy and costly law suit. Not all medical mistakes are classed as negligence.

Contact an Attorney. You can usually find several who will take your case on a contingency basis. That way you don't even have to pay unless you win your case.

Get a good lawyer. Then, with the proceeds from the suit, go to school and learn how to spell.

Don't try it on your own. Get an Attorney. Take your self down and tell them your story. Have your paper's with you. They will check into it and tell you if it can be done. Get an Attorney.

Theres quite a few 'no win, no pay' companies that will consider taking your case if they feel they can win it for you.
