Why Jahi's Mother doesn't think she is dead:
Why Jahi McMath's Mom Is Sure Her Daughter Isn't Brain Dead - ABC News
If the hospital pays off Jahi's family it will be a betrayal of every health care professional that works in the facility.
I think the general public would also view it as an admittance of wrong doing on the hospital's part. And if they really trust the judgement of the physicians that work there, they need to stand behind them.
According to this news article. The lawsuit was filed one day before the statue of limitations expired.

Oh of course. It wouldn't have happened if she wasn't so over weight. Her mother could've prevented this whole thing!!!
The guardian ad litem has complete control of minor child's or an incapacitated person's financial matters.
I thought a guardian ad litem was a court-appointed professional who acts as the child's advocate in cases where parents are at odds with each other?
A parent cannot be a guardian ad litem. It's someone who acts professionally in this capacity and is chosen by the court. And that person is not given control of the child's finances.

That's not at all unusual in personal injury or malpractice suits. Although, for some reason, I thought they had two years from the time of injury to sue.
I think because it's a dual case. Personal injury is usually 2years but wrongful death is 3 years from death or one year when malpractice was discovered, whichever comes first.
They filed under both counts. They can amend to remove one but not add later.
Interesting twist based upon what I've read as they sort of admit she's both dead and alive. But alive is only affirmed by the non-physician and other alternative thought medical professionals not by any medical standard. The guardian ad litum from mom was dismissed by judge. Perhaps dad has not given up parental rights.
I am totally fascinated by the legal precedents of this case.
This document filed in Federal court states that the Mother was never appointed the guardian ad litem and started using the title when CHO contacted CPS to appoint a guardian. CPS could not ask the court to appoint a GAL for a deceased person with a death certificate.
