Wrongful death will probably be thrown out in a demurrer or Motion for Summary Adjudication.

The tort for negligence is easy enough to prove and if put in front of a jury, the hospital stands to lose MUCH more in economic damages as opposed to settlement.

100% certain they will settle out of court.

All the more reason why the quality of health care is falling and the price is rising. Everyone's afraid of getting sued.
