Mansfield, PA asked in Medical Malpractice for Pennsylvania

Q: How do I sue for malpractice . My fathers dr stopped all his meds and within a year my father passed away.

My father had been on the same medicine for over 20 years and doing good. When his dr left town a new dr took over his care and stopped all his meds. Its been a year since this dr took over and my fathers health went down hill from day 1 of seeing this dr until his death on September 23, 2015. In my heart I feel that if his meds weren't stopped he would still be with us.
