Sarah Hager, acting on behalf of herself and the statutory beneficiaries of her deceased husband Edward Hager, and Donna Fett claimed that Edward Hager received substandard medical care.
Plaintiffs' causation expert opined that if Hager had received counseling on the day of his visit to the Veteran's Affairs hospital, "it is far more likely than not that he would not have attempted suicide that day.†But Plaintiffs' standard of care expert stated that the standard of care did not require Hager to receive counseling that day, a fact that plaintiffs do not dispute.
