        "text": "The process of filing an obstetric malpractice claim typically begins with a detailed consultation and review of your medical records by an attorney and medical experts. If negligence is identified, your attorney will usually send a notice of intent to sue to the healthcare providers involved. This is followed by filing a formal complaint in court. The process then involves discovery, where evidence is exchanged, and depositions are taken. Many cases resolve through mediation or settlement negotiations before going to trial.",
