My Mother was at a facility to gain her moblity back after hospitalization. Due to their lack of care, (leaving her alone,no feeding her,leaving her soiled,keeping her heavily medicated) my Mother developed bed sores, became malnourished, Which led to her ending up back in the hospital several times(about 3 or so). finally at another facility where they did all they could to bring my mother out of the state she was in(feeding tube included) and to come back home to us. That didn't happen at all. Sadly during the holidays My Mother passed away. I'm sorry if what I wrote seem distorted I'm not in a good place Mother was Only 55 years old. She should still be here with us. Thank you for reading what I've had to say and hopefully someone will reach out. Do I have a case on behalf of my Mother
I am very sorry for your loss. Yes, there is a definite possibility that what you described is negligence or malpractice, and you may have a wrongful death case on behalf of your mother. The only way to be sure is to review her records. If you have not already done so, you (or whomever was named in her will) need to be appointed legal representative (administrator or executor, if there was a will) of her estate, and that will give you legal authority to request her medical records. The statute of limitations for wrongful death is two years from the time of death.
