Wrongful Death - Accidental Death Law Answers
This is the right age for you to pursue what you think is legally right. You could not certainly have done anything 14 years ago. All of you then, were still minors. Before you do so, you need to establish a lot of things prior to your mother’s death. What illness had she got before she died? Why was she taken to the hospital? What does the medical record say? What was the cause of death? The piercing of the heart is still unclear. Are you referring to angioplasty or heart surgery?
