Right now, you don't have a loss yet!
Likely, your problem is the doctor treating her, doesn't have ADMITTING RIGHTS at the hospital you want her transferred to. Likely, in order to transfer her to the other hospital, you'll need to find a doctor FIRST, who has the power to do that.
And, of course, you'll have to pay for the transportation, and likely the second opinion - or third, as no doubt there IS a doctor at the hospital she's in, that has likely provided a second.
Do you have medical power of attorney for her? If not, you're powerless to DO anything, anyway. SHE is the one who gets to pick - and it's possible that she's telling the doctors to ignore you.
Elevated liver studies, by themselves, mean NOTHING. Heck, *I* have them, and I don't drink (I have an autoimmune disorder).
Your family has no right to sue, at this point. Even afterwards, the executor of her estate has to bring the suit, on behalf of the estate - NOT on behalf of the family.
Or, here's another answer - here in the USA, anyone can sue anyone else for anything. But I don't think you'll find a lawyer to take this on, on a contingency basis - you'll have to pay him up front, likely $10,000 or even more. Because I don't think you have a winnign suit here.
Just because bad stuff happens, doesn't mean someone else is at fault here. "I want a second opinion" on someone else's medical stuff, isn't negligence. The doctor does NOT have to cater to the wishes of 10 different people who want the patient treated 10 different ways. |

There is no negligence. You would have an impossible time to prove that it was negligent for a doctor not to move your mother into another hospital. If there was negligence at the hospital, you can sue for that negligence, but not moving her would not be negligence. Moreover, you would have the burden of proving that moving her into another hospital would have saved her life. |
