What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

Shortly after takeoff our plane had engine failure and shook violently at about 28000 ft. There was panic and we made an emergency landing. About 20 minutes later at the airport, we waited 2 plus hours for airport staff to accomodate us. During this ordeal my lady (about 1 month pregnant) had blood discharge from her vagina, paramedics were called and off we went to the ER. At the ER she was diagnosed "threatened miscarriage" and had several treatments performed. The following day my lady was released from the ER. Now were home and I am concerned about my lady and baby's well being. Should I hire an attorney? I have been contacted several times by a claims adjusting service.

How far along is was her pregnancy at the time?
The diagnosis of a "threatened miscarriage" doesn't necessarily mean a miscarriage is eminent. There are many reasons a woman would pass some blood during pregnancy, especially the early stages. I assume the ER Docs probably ordered an hCG (serum pregnancy test), an ultrasound, IV fluids, and bedrest to watch her progress. They released her when she, and the pregnancy, was stabilized.

The claims adjuster will probably want copies of her medical bills.

I'm glad you're both home and she's doing well. Good luck.
