A: You say that the patient came to India for summer vacations. If that means this occurred in India, the best thing to do would be to consult with law firms in India. This forum is limited largely to U.S. law and courts. It's likely the defendants here already realize what needs to be done, in terms of arranging for defense against the claims. Good luck
