A:
I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. A state is not included in your post. Reach out to attorneys in your state (or the state where this occurred if it is a different state than the one in which you reside) who are experienced in medical malpractice law. Based on the brief description, it is difficult to offer you anything more than what you already know at this point - an investigation needs to be performed. Based on these brief facts, it appears that this would turn out to be a complex case if an attorney agrees to handle it. It will additionally involve elements of personal injury and wrongful death law. Attorneys who handle such cases generally offer free initial consultations. If an attorney identifies the grounds for a case here that is viable to pursue, they could advise you of the legal process involved. Good luck
