In my experience with a lawsuit, it was a death of a family member, the state refused to prosecute, the family was forced to take civil action.
Once this is in place, you have to be careful about what you say when you try to speak out, mostly your attorney, will tell you not to talk.
When the family attorney found that the program was using the insurance money for their attorney to eat up the money, a settlement was issued.
The family got a settlement, the program got off, and went on their merry little way. The one thing outstanding was the child that died set precidence in the fact of the amount of money for the death. The family used the money to fight for legislation, and to make the public aware, so no other child would have to go through this, over a decade and kids are still being abused and dieing. Problem is every legislative bills have been dumped behind closed doors.
