malpractice?

As I am not licensed in your state, I can only provide you with some general guidance. I suggest that you review some of the Legal Guides I have published on Avvo.com, one of which deals with medical malpractice and what it is. You may have a viable claim.

I suggest that you immediately contact a personal injury attorney in your area who advertises that he or she handles medical malpractice cases. Arrange a free consultation with the attorney and see whether or not he or she is in a position to undertake your representation.

You need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Get a personal injury lawyer licensed in the state where you might have to bring suit to be your advocate.

I am not licensed in NY and can offer you general advice. I think that yours would be a tough case in which to prove your damages. You are going to have to prove that more likely than not your child would have been born with some sort of defect or likely not survived. There is also a great deal of stigma associated with abortion and strong feelings all the way around. Yours would be a different claim had you carried the pregnancy to term and had a special needs child. Similarly, if the fetus did not survive as a result of the vaccine your claim would also be different. I think it will be a huge hurdle to prove your damages.

I am, however, very sorry that this is something that you had to experience.

I wish you much comfort and peace.
