My wife had a medical procedure done (injection in her neck) where the most common risk is a dural puncture or "Wet tap." This is a .1-5% chance. She's had multiple blood patches and no relief. The doctor has kinda blown off her follow up and after care. She has severe spinal headaches and is almost incapacitated and my have to go on disability. This has been on-going for almost two months now. She still is waiting to see a neurosurgeon. I am her husband and I am extremely upset. What is our recourse against this doctor that did this to her? I know this is not detailed medical info, but do we have a lawsuit here? I hope an attorney can give us some kind of idea. We live in Ypsilanti,MI

Most malpractice attorneys will give you a free consultation. I think a local malpractice attorney could let you know better than anyone on yahoo, answers. My general opinion is if the doctor did something negligent than you could have recourse, but it is dependent on the state, the circumstances, and the paperwork your wife my have signed to waive her rights.

This case could become complicated.
Therefore, I think you'd better discuss your case with pro bono based (free of charge) attorney in your area first before you move on the next steps. This is important because you may hear good advise from the one who specialized in the area.
Anyway, since they are free of charge, you have nothing to lose to consult your problem with them. Trust me, they are very good people, very professional and willing to help you all out.
I just searched on internet for you and found 2 websites that perhaps useful for you.

You may even search law firm by state, in your area. I don't know whether you may also need them in the future.
Have a great of luck!
