Not only would there have to be an investigation of your claims of negligence in order to give an attorney a good faith belief that you have a meritorious suit, but if suit were filed, the procedural tasks are substantial. And all this is putting aside the tremendous emotional toll it would take on you (adding to the terrible toll you must be feeling now - I am very sorry for your loss).
