What is the name of your state? Illinois
A friend of mine lost her husband a little over a year ago. He had an autopsy and the cause of death was Methadone. He had been taking Methadone to relieve an addiction to vicodin. My friend doesn't know if she has a case for malpractice. I told her her husband died from taking a prescription drug! I did a little research and 20/20 had something about methadone saying one dose can kill. If this is right, can she also sue the pharmaceudical company?
What I want to know is, does she have a case against the doctor or pharmaceudical company or both? And if so, how much should she sue for? She is at a loss of income now. She has 2 kids, but both are over 18. And also, how does she go about doing this? Should she just call a lawyer?
Thank you in advance for any help!
