I'd appreciate your re-typing your remarks. I have trouble knowing who did what.
However, I can give you some answers. If these do not fit the circumstances, please try your question again.
Certain wrist fractures present serious problems to an orthpedist. Often the fracture must be fixed with a plate and screws. In accidents such as motorcycle crashes, bones in the wrist may be shattered, and little solid bone for fixing the plate in place may be available. Sueing the orthopedist in these cases is often unsuccessful, and in most States the plaintiff (you and your attorney) is charged with court costs . For this reason most lawyers avoid these cases. However, you should take what records you have to a lawyer and see what he thinks. I suspect from what you have said that you may have a case, but without a clearer picture of events, it's hard to say.
