What are my option in terms of a lawsuit regarding the death of my daughter from a tonsilectomy?

Any parent can file a wrongful death lawsuit or medical malpractice lawsuit against the doctors, hospitals, etc. Both parents need not agree.

I do not handle cases like this, but the law firm of Kafoury McDougal in Portland does. You can reach them at 503-224-2647 or [email protected]. They provide an initial consultation visit for you at no charge, and they usually take cases on a "contingency" basis, which means that you do not have to pay them, unless they succeed in obtaining money for you from the entity that harmed you.
