Yes, it is possible to bring a personal injury lawsuit against a doctor, hospital, even a dentist. Any medical professional can be sued for injuring a patient. It's called a medical malpractice lawsuit, and it requires a special type of lawyer. Medical malpractice lawyers specialize in helping injured patients recover monetary compensation for all their medical expenses, lost income and other damages associated with injury resulting from medical negligence.
However, medical malpractice cases are notoriously difficult to prove, so most medical malpractice attorneys have medical doctors on staff, or near by to investigate the details of every case before they choose to accept it.
If you think that you have been injured by a doctor, then it's important to talk to a medical malpractice attorney soon, because there are time limits for filing medical negligence claims.
