Re: failure to perform cpr

If you said 'no life support' or emergency measures, then they were not far off in declining to resuscitate. In order to have a 'valid' case, you would need to prove they knew and substantially violated his wishes, that the violation resulted in death or harm that otherwise would not have occurred, and that their actions were medically negligent. If resuscitation would not have changed the outcome, then they have a defense. The only way you can prove different is if you have the testimony of a medical expert in that field, saying they committed negligence and malpractice in this instance. IF you think you can get to there, feel free to contact me to discuss your rights and remedies.
