What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington state
I delivered my daughter in February of 2011. I was in active labor 34 hours. Pushing for 7 1/2. About 3 hours in to that 7 1/2, I could feel my daughters head get stuck. It was stuck in a transverse position. I was begging for a c section but one was not ordered until the on call OB (I had a midwife) came in and checked me. He was furious with the midwife!
She had a severe cone head and now that she is abou to start preschool I am worried she may have some brain damage from childbirth. If I can prove that this brain damage is from childbirth, what would I need to take this matter to court and sue the hospital? The midwives are a branch of that hospital.
