When a baby is lost during the delivery or shortly after being born, there is never any amount of monetary compensation that can it okay. But when a medical professional acted carelessly or was negligent and it was this action (or series of actions) that resulted in the death of your baby, it is important that the responsible party pay for these actions. You may be entitled to damages to compensate for funeral expenses, loss of life, suffering, and more.
