The first three steps you will have to follow in order to determine whether you have a case are (1) gather all your pertinent medical records, (2) locate reputable local counsel who specializes in medical malpractice and set an appointment, and (3) be prepared to pay an up front cost to have an expert doctor review your records and render an opinion about your case. Once you have an appointment with a lawyer, the first order of business will be to determine whether the statute of limitations has run on your case. Good luck.
