Nothing can "make it all better" but there is a basis for legitimate lawsuits at times. If my child suffered an injury at the hands of someones else, you can bet your @ss I would sue too!
If the injury was purposeful, I'd want him to rot in jail
If it was incompetence, I'd want him driven from the profession.
If it was an accident, it would be better to forgive than to encourage a doctor to stop practicing.
I don't know what it is in this case, but hopefully these things are being considered.
