Sorry to hear of your situation.
You should be aware, there are time limitations that apply to when you can file a claim. In DC, the time limit for medical negligence is 3 years. That may start when the patient died, or it may have started earlier (depending on the specific situation and medical facts).
Furthermore, DC law (16-2802) requires 90 day notification to the hospital or doctor, advising them of your intention to file suit. That can complicate the 3 year time limit if you haven't given notice before 2 years and 9 months (thus within the 90 day limit).
Therefore, I encourage you to act quickly to consult with an attorney experienced with DC medical malpractice cases. There are some of us who are experienced handling these cases from both sides - representing patients as well as the hospitals / doctors.
