A:
You may have the right to pursue a medical malpractice claim against the hospital if it can be established that the hospital's negligence in handling the catheter infection contributed to your mother's passing. To determine the viability of a lawsuit, it is essential to consult with an attorney who can evaluate the specific details of the case.
