Stillbirth is a tragedy that occurs when a baby is born without signs of life after at least 24 weeks of pregnancy. The baby may die during the late period of the pregnancy or the child may die during the labor and delivery process. Stillbirth can leave parents devastated and, in some cases, the mother may be left suffering from physical complications.
When stillbirth occurs, a child injury lawyer – Jon R. Moore should be consulted for help. A medical malpractice claim may be brought against caregivers responsible for causing the baby’s death so parents can get compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, emotional distress, pain, and other damages.
