I'm sorry to hear that your hip replacement went poorly. You may have a claim for medical malpractice, but it's impossible to know with the limited information provided. You should definitely reach out to a local medical malpractice attorney. Most lawyers give free consultations, so you have nothing to lose.
Doctors are required to meet a certain "standard of care," which is basically a minimum level of competency among doctors. If your doctor did everything correctly and the hip replacement didn't turn out well, then you won't be able to receive compensation from the doctor. Sometimes that just how things go. On the other hand, if the doctor didn't meet the minimum standard, and failure to meet the minimum standard resulted in your hip replacement not coming out right, then you will likely have a strong medical malpractice case. These are all details that you should discuss with any lawyer you decide to hire. Good luck.
Contact a Medical Malpractice attorney near you for a free and confidential consultation. An attorney can help review the facts and circumstances of your case along with medical experts to determine if there was a breach in the standard of care which has caused your injuries. I am sorry to hear about this and wish you well moving forward.
