I've been following this thread and don't know if the above link will throw any insight to what happened to your Lexi. If nothing else, it may add to your list of questions, guide pet owners in making the correct decisions for their beloved pets.
Vet techs are wonderful, very much the nurses of the veterinary world. However, when surgery medical care & decisions are necessary, I prefer the knowedge of a vet. One of my first questions I ever ask a vet that I'm considering for my crew is: Do you perform your own dental? If the answer is the techs do it.....I move on, informing them that I am paying high prices for veterinary care and expertise.
To the Original Poster....I'm so sorry that you lost your little girl. As far as sueing your vet......I don't know. Just gather and document all you can. I'm sure that you know, no amount of money can replace her. Your main goal is to find out everything you can, in hopes that you can prevent this from happening to anyone else. Just because you signed surgical release forms doesn't mean that you don't have any legal rights. There is a possibility the correct precautions weren't taken by your vet. And then there is a possibility you didn't make the right deicision (pre-op questions and pre-op work-up)
