My condolences to you and your family.
If you are going to sue, don't be afraid to do research and try to learn the legal reasoning behind a possible suit; even a layman's understanding will go a long way. DO get a competent lawyer but also familiarize yourself with the case; or you'll feel like one of those people who sues left, right and centre without appreciating the law.
Don't let your lawyer push you around or belittle you for wanting to understand the case. Give yourself a chance to cool off if it all gets too much, but remember that filing the suit will set the wheels of the system moving, so find people who know what will be on your shoulders from that day forward.
The more you know of the laws involved, the more you'll feel your serving a genuine desire for justice rather than for revenge or greed.
