Question

Was sent by a women's wellness doctor to a chiropractor and was manipulated so bad that I have not been able to walk without crutches or a cane for over 4 months. I have been told by new Drs that it was directly caused by the manipulation. And that I'm looking at at least a year of PT before I can hopefully walk the same. Should I get a lawyer and if so where do I start? Our city is bigger but small enough everyone knows everyone and am worried about personal inference. Also our money is low due to lack of being able to work and need one that wouldn't charge unless they win. Any advice? Thanks
