Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in California
medical malpractice/husbands death
My husband was addicted to pain medication and went to a Rehab. When he came back after staying in Rehab., he went back to the doctor and the doctor prescribed him more pain medication, from what I understand it was a stronger pain medication. I am still waiting for Coroner report. My husband accidently overdosed and I found him dead in bed the next day. From what I have told you, would I have a case of malpractice? Pls. advise. thanks

As per my colleagues' advice, seek out a medical malpractice expert.
You don't have enough facts, as per your statement above, for me to give you an opinion.
Re: medical malpractice/husbands death
You need to consult a medical malpractice attorney, who will obtain a copy of your husband's medical and rehab records and have them reviewed by a medical expert. Only the medical expert can establish that there was an actionable breach of the standard of care. On its face, the case looks bad for the doctor, but I don't know the whole story, and I'm suspecting you don't either.

Very possibly. You should have the case reviewed by an experience and qualified medical malpractice lawyer. If you want to, give me a call.
