Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York
malpractice
my daughter's father is dying from cancer which I feel a physician did not treat properly. Can I file suit on my daughter's behalf or does her father have to sign papers for access to his medical records?

Re: malpractice
As long as your daughter's father is still alive, and did not give power of attorney to someone else, he is the only one who can initiate a suite with a lawyer.
Your daughter's father can also sign an authorization to allow others (lawyers) to obtain the medical records to determine if their is a lawsuit.
Your daughter's father or his designee can start a lawsuit against the doctors.
if you would like more information please feel free to contact me.
Medical malpractice lawsuits are a very specialized breed, and before you can do anything, the medical records should be obtained, and gone over with a doctor/lawyer for malpractice.
