  2. When an infant is injured as a result of the nurse's or physician's medical negligence, the parents have the right to seek When an infant is injured as a result of the nurse's or physician's medical negligence, the parents have the right to seek  compensation. Some states may demand a doctor's affidavit to file a compensation claim. For medical negligence,  hospitals, individual providers, obstetricians, nursing staff, other medical staff, and even pharmaceutical companies can  be sued.  Conclusion  Medical expenses, physical therapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation costs, special education costs, future medical  expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering can all be claimed by the parents in a birth injury claim. A skilled  medical malpractice attorney can take on the healthcare behemoths and secure a sizable settlement for the victims.     birthinjury   birthinjurylaw   birthinjuryattorney    birthinjurylawyer      birthinjuries     birthinjurylawsuit     birthinjurytypes
