I already addressed this. WHY HAVEN'T YOU OBTAINED A LAWYER YET? Your child might someday want to sue you for parental malpractice.

There is a 2 year statute of limitations, which starts to run upon majority. You can make a claim now, and file suit if necessary, or your daughter can wait until age 20 (at the latest).

File a claim for personal injury with the hospital insurance company.

You and your newborn baby may have a claim for damages against the hospital and/or the nurse's employer. Was the finger re-attached? You should contact an attorney immediately.

What you have described could very well be characterized as medical malpractice. I would strongly suggest speaking with an attorney who handles that type of case.

You can and should file suit against the hospital. This is medical malpractice and very difficult to pursue. You should hire an experienced medical malpractice attorney.

It is possible that you may have a claim against the nurse and the hospital. It would be important to get all of the details in a consultation. An attorney that handles injury cases would normally give you a free consultation, and if you hire the attorney there would be no fee unless you collect.

You have already asked this question, and the response amond the panelists has been consistent. Yous is not the only question that re-appears, it could be something in the system that causes questions to post twice.

I answered this question already. The hospital AND the nurse are responsible. Get a lawyer right away.. That is what you can do.

I already answered this question a few days ago. You should find a lawyer who represents patients in medical malpractice cases to represent your daughter. From what you have written, the case looks like one that should be pursued.
