won’t cost you anything for an opinion. Don’t agree to pay anything, whatever.

While your case may well have merit, many won’t result in a favorable ruling if the defense can show the doctors, hospital, etc., “met the standard of care.” That’s not as difficult as maybe it should be.

But, you deserve a chance to get a few opinions. Sorry this happened to you.
