Dear Anonymous,
I am very sorry to read of the death of your baby. No parent should have to say goodbye to their child.
Whether you have a viable claim for wrongful death damages against a qualified health care provider and/or the hospital cannot be determined based solely on the facts you provided. A lawyer reviewing your case would want to know, for example, the reasons for being under observation, the reasons you were discharged from the hospital, and whether allowing you to return home fell below the standard of care under the circumstances of your preganncy. This forum for legal questions unfortunately is of limited value for complex questions such as these.
I encourage you to contact a law firm that assists members of our community in obtaining compensation when clear medical negligence has occurred. Our office would be happy to discuss the circumstances of this incident in greater detail with you. There is no charge for calling, and it may help you learn if you have any rights under Indiana law to compensation.
Best wishes,
Lance Ladendorf
