As per latest consumer case law on medical negligence, such negligence cases are to be referred to the experts panel. It is presumed that the hospital is a Pvt one, hence, submit an application to your state's Medical Council, Health Department as well as seek the concerned state govt medical experts opinion in writing. If there is no help coming forward from the state authorities, seek remedy through 'Writ' petition at High Court. Another alternate is to file a consumer complaint with a petition requesting their direction to refer your complaint to the concerned Govt machinery for 'expert opinion'.
