A: You need to prove that some wrongful act or omission was a substantial factor in your mother's death. You also have possible claims for Elder Abuse, which can include an award of attorney fees. I would suggest that you look for a personal injury/medical malpractice/Elder Abuse attorney who can investigate the claims and advise you whether it is worth pursuing.
