I am a patient and I want to file a lawsuit because I feel I was not treated the way I wanted to be and he refused to prescribe something I needed for a cosmetic related illness. How would I go about filing a lawsuit? Please explain the process. It is important. Is it costly? Please explain details.

in 2003, my daughter had a case settled for malpractice. i recieved documents shortly after about her structured settlement acct. since then i had a fire as a result i no longer have those documents.I just recently i recieved notice from the structured settlement specialist requesting my daughters social security number and he also indicated to me that my daughters acct has not been fully set up due to a lack of info that her attorney failed to provide. i tried to reach the attorney but was told that his liscence has been suspended during 2003. my daughter is approaching the age to recieve her money, my question is what do i have to do for her to recieve it. who should i contact since the attorney who handled the case is not reachable, and the settlement specialist is not much assistance either????— please help
