Facial Nerve Surgery

Question: Can I file a malpractice suit for an accidental severed facial nerve by a surgeon?
I had a tumor (benign) removed from my poratid gland. When the surgery was finished and I woke up the Surgeon told me the tumor was gone but he accidently severed one of my facial nerves which runs thru the poratid gland. He sewed it back together but it will take up to a year before we can tell if the nerve will work again, But for now (2 wks post op) I can;t blink all the way with my left eye and I have an eye and eye brow paraysis on the left. I can;t raise my eyebrow and the left eye is drooping. I'm in Sales and I don;t feel comfortable about the way my face looks.
Answer: Yes you have all the right to do that. But please consult an experienced solicitor about how to proceed. also don't forget to keep all the prescriptions and medicines given to you by the surgeon.
Doctors are trained and paid not to make "accidents".
Yes! That is malpractice and if they openly admitted to doing it, GET IT IN WRITING and take it to court.
