Houston Medical Malpractice Attorney.
You have a valid wrongful death claim against the step-father; however, in order to have a chance to recover money, the lawsuit has to be filed while the step-father's estate is still in probate before any of the assets are divided/distributed.

The facts seem to indicate a valid malpractice claim. It has long been considered negligent for a dentist to attempt dental repair or extraction in the presence of an active infection without first treating the infection. If the dentist knew or should have known about the infection, he was required to resolve the infection before performing the extraction. Had he done so, the problems associated with the infection would never have occurred. If you would like to discuss this matter with me...

You do have a valid claim if you can prove WalMart knew or should have known the door was not functioning properly. This evidence is usually acquired by forcing WalMart to produce the maintenance and repair records for the door as well as other accident or incident reports involving the door. Your attorney can also subpoena and question other WalMart loading dock employees to try to find evidence that they knew there was a problem with the door. This procedure can be costly, usually...

Based on the limited info provided, it sounds like the problem probably began as a post-operative ileus or intestinal blockage. This is a common surgical risk which requires the surgeon to vigilantly monitor his patient after surgery and before discharge from the hospital.

If your daughter was injured, she has a valid personal injury claim against the dog owner which is sometimes covered under the homeowners policy or renters insurance policy. Call or email me if you would like more information.
If the accident occurred in Texas, you may need to sue both the driver for causing the accident and his father, the owner of the vehicle, for negligently entrusting his vehicle to an unlicensed driver. This will resolve the coverage issue and force the father's insurance company to pay for your damages including any injury sustained by your wife.
