I voted yes. I do not agree with a bunch of law suits but, my Mom filed one agaist the doctor that killed my father and I believe and I always will that it needed to be done. I have never had a BAD problem at a vets office except when I took Cubby in to get fixed and they told me he was a very mean cat. They gave him his sleepy shot (thats what I told Cubby it was) and he needed to get the booster shots done. Well they wating until he fell asleep and they woke him up with a needle in his neck and in his butt. I'm sorry but if someone woke me up with a needle in my butt or my neck if I couldn't hit or kick that person I would bite too. They told me that next time I take him in they will muzzle him because he is a very AGGRESSIVE cat! Of course my response was WTF? He doesn't bite for no reason which then they had to tell me the full story and I switched vets.
If a vet is licensed and everything then they are responsible for their own actions if they hurt or kill the animal in their care we should be able to sue them. They were the ones at fault and it needs to be taken care of. No amont of money would ever bring your animal back, but I have found out as long as they admit they are at fault they can keep every dime they make. As long as they DO NOT do it to another animal again.
Just my 2 cents.
