A tragic circumstance, and it happens. People suffer. Every person dies eventually. But...
Hmmm... so if you have National Health Care, where you CANNOT sue the government, it will be.. better ?
Personal note:
My father died.. quite possibly as a result of an ER mistake ( Intubation into his esophagus instead of trachea, his heart may have been oxygen starved as a result...) after he was struck by a car walking across the road. Mom is a lawyer.
We did not sue. What would be the point ? He was dead. Mom donated his organs, corneas, bones, tissues, skin, etc.. He had life insurance, so we were able to bury him. The Intern who made the mistake learned from it... hopefully nobody else will die.
Talk to a doctor about the chilling effect predatory personal injury lawyers have on their profession, and the medically unnecessary tests that they order just to be absolutely sure they don't get sued if something happens. A chunk of 'insane medical costs' can be attributed to that.
