Who Is Liable for Carmel Birth Asphyxia Injuries?

  • The hospital or birthing center where your child’s injury occurred, particularly if a staff member’s negligence led directly to your infant’s permanent injury
  • An alternate care provider who did not intervene at any signs of pregnancy complication (this is separate from the medical staff that oversaw your labor and delivery)
  • A nurse, respiratory therapist, or doctor who failed to provide appropriate care for your baby post delivery

That is where an attorney can step in and help you get compensated fairly for your suffering. Your attorney can help you gather evidence that the doctor breached their duty of care, caused the injuries, and owes you compensation.
