Dear Anonymous,
There are 2 questions we must answer when evaluating every medical malpractice case. The first is negligence. Did the doctor violate the appropriate standard of care? The second component is damages. Were you injured as a result of the doctor's negligence? In this case, it sounds like the doctor over-prescribed medication and you died. However, I can only assume that you came back to life if you are able to ask this question on the internet. All kidding aside, if you were injured as a result of the doctor's negligence, then you may have a case. You will want to consult with an experienced medical malpractice attorney to discuss the specifics of your case.
