Typically, money from a claim like this will be put into a trust, or something like it with the court, which will have to approve how the money is spent. Your lawyer should be able to explain this to you. And if you don't have a lawyer, you need to talk to one right away. Medical malpractice actions in your state have to be filed within three years after the malpractice, and this isn't something that can be thrown together overnight even by the best attorney: the case has to be reviewed, first, to make sure there's a real possibility of finding malpractice, on the unique facts, before the suit can be started.
