Can a neurosurgeon be sued

Yes, a neurosurgeon can be sued, and so can just about anyone else. But the burden of proof is clearly on the person bringing the suit. Additionally, a weak case could result in a counter suit. In any action like this, it is critical to get the opinion of at least one legal professional. Litigation against physicians and attorneys is notoriously thorny, and there are serious consequences possible for all parties to the action. A professional consultation is often modestly priced, or even free, at least upon the initial visit. The attorney will be investing a bit of time to get an idea of the merits of the case, and also making his own plea for your retaining him in the action. No one with anything to gain (or lose) in such an action would even consider bringing a suit without a lawyer. Even if the action is conducted without any appearances in court, the paperwork is not something that anyone without legal qualifications should be handling. Ask around about for a reference, or get a referral from a service. But get an attorney.
