Any information you can provide will be great. I'm writing a movie and want it to be as realistic as possible.

First when the patient dies any doctor nearby says his time of death.
if the patients family believes his death was caused by malpractice they can file an Administration in probate court to have an Administrator appointed. Then his estate can the sue in the appropriate court.
