My mother was in the hospital and required a breathing tube and suction device to keep her airway clear. The hospital cleared her for discharge without ensuring the necessary durable medical equipment would be provided. The durable medical equipment company failed to inform us they couldn't provide the equipment until after my mother was put on life support. As a result, she went without proper oxygen for 40 minutes, leading to her death. Can I sue the durable equipment company for wrongful death and the hospital for medical malpractice?
