I’m not a lawyer, but suspect just the threat of a $ suit would force a ‘settlement’ resulting in establishing a new procedure. At that point, if the family’s objective is purely for the policy change, they might have to find an attorney thru a pro-life advocacy group in their state who would work on their case pro bono. Most lawyers are in business to make money.
How about requesting a meeting with the Doctor or Nursing supervisor (or Administrator?) and say you want to just discuss the matter,,,threaten to call the local tv news station and newspaper if they won’t at least talk to you.
