Fiance has a life threatening condition and was given less than 2 months to live unless he has a fairly simple surgery. However, he is required to see his family's physician to get the pre-op for the surgery. His father, who he is listed under as a dependent on their health insurance, will not give him the required information for him to see the physician even though he has been explained the situation. If my fiance is not able to get the surgery because his father will not release required information and he dies, can his father be charged for his wrongful death? He's being denied his life by his own family. Is there any other legal actions that can be taken? We live in Florida in the U.S. Yes, my fiance is above the age of 18 but he is still a dependent on his father's insurance. We also live in an area where he is being denied the life saving surgery unless he gets the pre-op by the family physician ONLY due to a potential heart condition he may have.

I think he should get on state insurance this would be a guarrente for the surgery if you go to dshs and apply for the insurance he would be better off instead of waiting to see why his dad is doing this to him tell the dshs the problem it should be good for him then they should cover the post op and the surgery.You might have to move where they could help him. I would talk to a attorvey see what your options are.
Not enough information to answer the question. What do you mean by "required information? " I'm going to assume you're talking about his health insurance. Is your fiancé over or under the age of eighteen? Why doesn't your fiancé have his own copy of the insurance card? If your fiancé is over eighteen, why hasn't he talked with the surgeon to explain the situation? He might be able to talk some sense into his father.
