Wrongful Death of an Unborn Child

Birmingham Personal Injury Attorneys

Bringing a baby into the world is one of the greatest joys for mothers and fathers. Prior to the birth of a child, parents imagine the many ways that a child will change their lives and their family. From school and sports to friends and memorable events, the addition of a new child will bring many new and exciting chapters to a loving family.

However, something as simple as a car accident can change everything in an instant. Until recently, a parent's legal recourse was uncertain.

Due to recent changes in Alabama law, however, parents may bring a wrongful death claim for fatal injuries to a fetus. A lawsuit can be brought, for example, if injuries in an auto accident lead to a expectant mother's miscarriage. The recent changes enable parents to pursue a cause of action even if the child is not viable outside the mother's womb.
