Yes you can. It is called medical malpractice and that is what they pay malpractice insurance for. Get an attorney that specializes in med/mal cases and they usually will work on a contingency basis, which means they will take up to 33 1/3% of any award you receive, or if no award is granted, the attorney gets nothing.

Good luck to you.
