Medical malpractice- Should I file lawsuit?

In 2005 I had surgery to fuse my vertebrae in my neck. It didn't "take", and I had to have a second one to attempt fusion again. This time through the back of my neck.It turns out that when the surgeon did the first one he misplaced one of the screws. I have to take morphine for the pain. The worst part about it is that when he went back in, he didn't repair the first mess-up even though it was obvious on the cat-scan I had prior to the surgery, which is what caused the first fusion to fail. Now I have to have a third operation to repair his obvious error, and it will happen next year. I plan to have a different doctor do it, for obvious reasons. I will most likely have this pain for the rest of my life. I am totally disabled now. I was hurt at work too. Would you file suit? Will I have to pay Worker's comp back? If so, do you think that's fair? Wouldn't you? One last question: Do you think that I'd win my case if I file? Maybe law students could debate this subject.

1. You unfortunately don't require a law student to debate your serious problem. If you have the money for a court trial you should sue....without question. Visit a prominent attorney who specialized in this kind of case and let him take it on a win basis. If he smells victory and a sizable sum he'll take the case. I urge you merely get the right lawyer Get a bum and you will have another incompetent like the doctor.
2. From the few details you have provided, it sounds like you may have a decent case. Contact an attorney and find out.
