I was involved in an incident and a couple of days later i lost my unborn child is there anything i can do ab?

i was involved in a terrifying ordeal which resulted in me miscarring my baby

Dear B C,

I'm really sorry to hear about that.
I'm not sure if I understand your question. What exactly happened? Are you suggesting that you want to sue the people who started the incident?
Well, I suppose you could, but I think this will only hurt you even more and it won't bring back your baby...

Try to find peace, in whatever way that seems right to you.
I wish you a lot of courage and the best of luck.


THE BULB
What kind of answer do you expect if you don't give any details????
If the ordeal was terrifying, why was it two days later that you miscarried and not at the time. Do you have medical proof that the incident caused the miscarriage. These are the kind of questions you will be asked. You should be prepared. It's a very serious allegation and you should be advised that the defence for whoever you think caused the miscarriage will be pulling every trick out of the hat to keep their client in the clear.

Im really sorry for your loss. Sometimes (and this I think is awful) it depends how far along the pregnancy is to whether the baby is classed as a person.

Have you thought about grief counselling? You need all the support you can get.

Can you get a medical report stating your miscarriage was due to or was contributed to by the incident? If so, either go to your local Citizens Advice Bureau,which is free, or see a solicitor for legal advice.Either will be able to guide you as to whether you have a case for compensation.

If the other driver was undeniably at fault, you could consider bringing a civil action against him or her. You need to take proper advice on this. Perhaps your insurance company could give some initial indication on whether or not this would be the right thing to do in your case.

this is s very sensitive subject . But if you are thinking of suing you will have to show that this incident was someone Else's fault.and that the miscarriage was a consequence of that negligence. Speak to your Doctor first and ask if in his opinion your loss was down to the incident . If the answer is yes then approach a specialist solicitor who will access your claim and advise you on whether to proceed from a legal stand point
once again you have my sympathies

you really do need to talk to an attorney on this


missree
i am sorry to hear that you can seek legal help to sue the person/s involved as long as it can be proven that it was a direct cause of the incident.


totollyme23
i am so sorry. i wish you well and i will pray for you. and no i dont think there is anything you can do about it. but if you were not hurt too badly in the acident then it is possible that you may be able to have another child. again i am very sorry about what happened.

Im sorry to hear about your loss.
But is looking for financial gain really going to make you feel any better.
Lots of people have accidents every day even but we are hardly going to not allow pregnant women in cars.

seek legal advice!!! sorry to hear your bad news

*In relation to compensation there are hundreds of accident firms who will help you financially, you may be best speaking to the citizen advice b who advice you of reptitable company.

*But if you need emotional support there are lots of miscarriage groups out there try contacting Samaritans first as they will be able to tell you were to find help.

We need many more details on this case before we can help you. Talk to an attorney (look under worker's comp or accident attys) who will tell you if you have a case or not. This initial consultation will be free. And if they take the case, they will only take a percentage of any moneys won. So no $ up front. Don't lie to the atty or leave out ANY details even if they are embarrassing or not in your favor. That is most important!

Go to citizens advice . This is the wrong place to ask questions as serious as this. Good luck.


clueless_nerd
I feel bad but without knowing more detail I don't think there is anything we can do to help you. If there was any illegal activity involved whatsoever you must go to the police and make sure a full report is filed. You would also need the services of a lawyer. Counseling is also probably a must for you, if you are in the U.S. call the department of social services, they can arrange all this. Sorry again about your loss.


stibbs
That's so sad. I think you're going to have a hard time suing and the stress and hurt may not be worth it. I hope you do have other children to comfort you at present. best of luck


floss
So sorry sweetie, all you can do is grieve for your baby and try again when you feel ready.


Munya Says: DUH!
Sue like everyone else does.


sorry about the baby.


Max50
Sure can. Sue the other guys in a wrongful death suit.

A lot of states do have a law a pregant mother who is injury and miss carrys because of an accident can do that.
