What if my baby died due to a birth injury? Can I still bring a claim?

What if my baby died due to a birth injury? Can I still bring a claim?

Yes. The parents of a baby who died due to a birth injury may bring a wrongful death claim under O.C.G.A. § 51-4-2, seeking the full value of the child’s life. The estate may also bring a survival action for the infant’s conscious pain and suffering and medical and funeral expenses. These are among the most emotionally demanding cases in our practice, and we approach them with both aggressive legal skill and deep compassion for grieving families.
