Was your case rejected by another attorney or law firm? Do not hesitate to talk to more than one lawyer about taking your case. Maybe the third lawyer you talk to will have had good success with a case just like yours, while the first two had bad experiences with a similar case. But what if you have done that and still, no attorney will take your case? It means the consensus is either that your case probably cannot be won, or that the likely damages that can be recovered will not justify bringing the case.
It is our recommendation that you do not try to pursue the case without a lawyer. There may be much more at stake for you financially than you realize. If you are convinced that you received inappropriate care but cannot find a lawyer, you may want to file a complaint with the appropriate medical regulatory board or agency. You can do a simple Google search to find out how to file an administrative complaint with the appropriate state regulatory board. While filing a grievance with an administrative agency will not ordinarily result in compensation for you, it may help prevent the incident from happening to other patients in the future.
