You may have a right to sue but without a perm. damage, the value of the case is not substantial

Re: Mental trauma to family.

Recoverable damages from malpractice and products liability case may include emotional pain and suffering if they are the natural and probable consequence of the wrongful act, however, malpractice actions are exceptionally difficult to maintain. What�s more, the nature of such damage is intangible and it�s unlikely a judge or jury would award you very much.

Your family cannot recover, only you.

To win your case, it is not sufficient for liability to show that that you were harmed by medical treatment or a drug, or that there were complications, or that you did not heal. Simply stated, you must prove that somebody did something wrong (e.g., negligent) and that the wrongful act harmed you. Wrong does not necessarily mean �made a mistake.� The professional�s conduct must fall below the minimum standards, and you must prove this by the testimony of a qualified professional.
