While my first reaction is probably to agree with you, we do not know from this article the facts of the case. No one planning or attending labor and birth ever intends for bad outcomes, and I seriously question whether a group so experienced in birth would be so negligent as alleged. The plaintiff's attorney may or may not be correct about the outcome being 100% preventable, I am skeptical that anything is so simple in pregnancy, labor, and birth. My heart goes out to the family, as well as to the midwives and health care providers involved.
