I can assure you that there is no "fear" in suing the hospital OTHER than the fear of financial loss or impact to a law firm if you are looking for a contingent fee case, where the lawyer does all the work and foots all the bills only to be paid if and when they "win". If you mother was elderly, these are extremely difficult cases due to finanical limitations in the wrongful death and medical malpractice statutes. That stated, if you are intent on "having your day in court" and "seeking justice" the most likely scenario for that to occur under the facts presented will be for the family to fund a legal action or inquiry by personal representative of her estate. This will be an expensive endeavor so plan on committing $10-20,000.00 up front as a retainer for legal fees and costs.
