Eligible Survivor in Medical Malpractice Cases

In the case of a patient’s death due to medical malpractice, it is the responsibility of those close family members left behind, such as children or spouses, to file a suit and seek compensation from the negligent party (or parties) involved. It is important to understand your status as an eligible survivor as the conditions of this status may affect a wrongful death lawsuit
