My question involves malpractice in the state of: PA
Trying to keep this as brief as possible but happy to provide any additional details to help get more accurate opinions.
Quickly approaching the statute of limitations. An attorney on contigency looked into negligence/wrongful death for my grandmother (died 11/16, grandfather died 1/17). For 1.5 yrs he has been looking into it but has been unable to obtain all medical records. He would like me tobooen an estate in my grandmothers name to sue for all records.
The attorney handing my grandfather's estate (approx $1.5M, 2 beneficiaries) which has recently been accepted/approved by the State, suggests not reopening an estate in my grandmother's name and disturbing the status quo of the finalized estate. His rational is that plantiffs onky prevail maybe 15% of the time, grandma was 87 yrs old, every health condition possible (cancer, COPD, CHF, failing vision, dementia), and grandfather died 2 months later. Even if evidence is overwhelming would not be substantial enough gain to risk anything related to the estate of grandfather.
What say you all? Thanks
