The most common types of birth injury lawsuits involve medical negligence or inadequate monitoring during delivery. These claims can be made against the doctor, hospital, or other healthcare providers who were responsible for providing care during the labor and delivery process. Additionally, some parents may choose to file a wrongful death lawsuit if their child dies as a result of a birth injury. These cases typically involve claims of medical malpractice or negligence and are only applicable if the child died within one year of the delivery. Finally, some parents may choose to sue for emotional distress if their child suffered an injury during labor and delivery that results in long-term physical or mental trauma. In these cases, the parents may be able to receive compensation for their pain and suffering.
