More details to this question:
In september of 2010 i found out that one of the identical twins i was carrying had passed away. I was induced in feb of 2011 and since my labor progressed so quickly i was forced to have a midwife deliver my baby. when my deceased child was delivered she made a big scene of calling all the nurses in the room over to take a look and we were horrified. My question is if i have a right to make a claim against her malpractice insurance for emotional distress?

Generally a midwife will be covered under a doctor's medical malpractice insurance. If you believe there was medical negligence then you need to contact a lawyer who handles medical negligence cases immediately. These cases take a long time to investigate and there are certain statutes of limitations in which to file a claim.
