You should talk to a doctor first, other than the one who did the procedure and have them review your case.
I suspect you would have a very hard time litigating this. What your neighbors think, what your brother's treatment was, etc. have little bearing. Breaks in the same locations are not the same thing as identical breaks. For example, I broke my instep sparing a few years back. It was a horizontal break, not a vertical one. This caused a bunch of complications compared to someone I knew who had also broken their instep, except their break was vertical. All breaks are not equal, everyone is different in how they are built.

One would think that he provided a higher standard of care?
Shit happens man, if the procedure was done correctly, I don't see the tort. This is why we cannot have nice things. |

See another doc before you make any kind of decision. Just "talking to" a lady down the street who just happens to be a doc doesn't really tell you jack.

That seems like quite the assumption.
There could have been very different circumstances in your break, from your brother's incident.  |

I had thought it kinda strange that my break was just above the ankle yet they went thru my knee and did nothing for the tibula and essentially just left it broken. The physical therapy from the knee also just happened to be thru his private practice. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I would guess that you'd have a difficult time finding a lawyer worth his salt that would take the case.
