My grandmother just passed away from a massive stroke after having a tummy tuck done two days previous. They sent her home with a catheter still in and my grandfather was giving her blood thinners a day after the surgery she was still bleeding from the incision. We think that there was medical malpractice in this but we have no idea where to start to figure out if there really is a case or not. Please give us some idea on where to start and how to really know if there is a case to pursue. Thank you.

Call a lawyer.

get a lawyer that specializes in medical field.

No, you probably have no case whatsoever... Your best bet is to call a lawyer, but it seems that the doctors guarded against blood clots (the cause of strokes) by prescribing blood thinners.
Good luck.

Consult a medical malpractice attorney.

someone that old should not have an unnecessary operation like that for this very reason. it will be tough to prove your suit, since she likely signed a waiver telling her of the increased risks for someone her age.
sorry for your loss though.

First and foremost you would want to contact a medical malpractice attorney who can better assist you. That's where I would start. A malpractice lawyer could tell you everything you need to know. Start there. They may even offer you a free consultation.

Your Grandpa giving the blood thinner could have been negligent while she had an open wound.
