70 y/o patient in nursing facility is left unattended and falls, hitting his head and is now in a coma. doctors are saying that the family should just withdraw care because surgery doesn't have much likelihood of helping him.
Option 1: dude just dies.
Option 2: surgery. maybe makes some recovery, maybe ends up fucked up but alive, maybe dies on the table, maybe dies at some point after surgery.
what kind of difference in damages are we talking about?

I think you have to defer to the doctors on this first and then worry about the measure of damages thereafter.
If docs are pushing cessation of treatment or care (he's only 70!) then I would think both tactically and as a matter of the guy's health and dignity that's probably the better course.
Get a second opinion on the appropriateness of surgery though. 70 is young.

As for which outcome has greater damages, I cant answer this because it depends on what can be recovered by beneficiaries. You need to know the number of beneficiaries, and what the claims are that are permitted--loss of solace, companionship, claim for pain experienced prior to death? DC allows for both, other venues limit you to one claim or another. 70 is pretty young.
