My baby suffered a brachial plexus injury, called Erb’s palsy, during a difficult delivery. This happened because of the doctor’s negligence, and it’s been a tough journey for both my child and us. Can we take legal action against the hospital and doctors? Can we also seek compensation for this hardship?

Yes, you can pursue legal action against the hospital and doctors for medical negligence. You can file a medical negligence case under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, or a civil suit for damages. You can also seek compensation for medical expenses, loss of income, pain and suffering, and other related costs.
