Looking for a lawyer in Santurce for end-of-life decisions?

Legal & Financial 1d 2h ago 4 answers • Alexis Lachance

My family and I are from Nepal and were visiting Santurce. My dad had a stroke and is in the ICU at Hospital UPR Dr. Federico Trilla in Carolina. We want comfort-focused care, but we've been told a court order is required in Puerto Rico before this can happen, but we haven't gotten clear guidance from the hospital on the legal process.

Have you already received the information you need? The Colegio de Abogados y Abogadas de Puerto Rico can connect you with private attorneys specializing in health law, civil injunctions, and elder/patient rights. You can ask for urgent referral contacts for health or emergency court proceedings. Additionally, you can reach out to the Colegio's phone number at (787) 721-3358 for more assistance.

The doctor can discuss your situation with the hospital's ethics department and medical director to see if they can facilitate any changes.

Ask the hospital for a social work consultation to help you navigate the situation. During visiting hours, speak with your father's doctor and ask if they can facilitate this consultation. I'm sorry to hear about your father, and I hope you and your family find comfort during this time.
