What do you need to do to sue someone for medical malpractice?

AZ123

someone that old should not have an unnecessary operation like that for this very reason. it will be tough to prove your suit, since she likely signed a waiver telling her of the increased risks for someone her age.

sorry for your loss though.

No, you probably have no case whatsoever... Your best bet is to call a lawyer, but it seems that the doctors guarded against blood clots (the cause of strokes) by prescribing blood thinners.

Good luck.

Most personal injury attorneys will be happy to give you a free consultation.

Affidavit from another doctor on the error of the doctor in question would help.

First and foremost you would want to contact a medical malpractice attorney who can better assist you. That's where I would start. A malpractice lawyer could tell you everything you need to know. Start there. They may even offer you a free consultation.

Get a lawyer, preferably one that specializes in this area.

Start with getting a lawyer. They can tell you if you have a case and can give you a lot of information on it. It does sound fishy to me.

First, go to a lawyer......
collect autopsy reports, hospital records and such.... then sue
but you will need a lawyer first off. Nobody on here is going to give you the exact correct responce, not even me. Call a lawyer..please

The catheter and bleeding would not cause a stroke though. Surgical wounds often ooze fluid, especially if she was taking anticoagulants, that's just a fact of life and isn't really their fault.

Contact a reputable lawyer in your area. That is always the first place to start.

Malpractice can be tricky, but they are the experts.

I would probably see a lawyer if I wanted to sue somebody, but that's just me.

Your Grandpa giving the blood thinner could have been negligent while she had an open wound.

you need to get supporting documents and suggestions from legitimate doctors who would testify that the medication process or treatment is not in accordance with their practice. then, you should get all necessary evidence that would support your claim. establish a case that through blood thinners your grandmother died of hemorrhage and was not given instructions from the hospital after discharge. if you have all of these then get a credible lawyer that will represent you in filing your case.
