High bilirubin is detectable in almost every case by observing signs of jaundice and treating the child properly. It is a common occurrence for which every doctor should be prepared. If your child has suffered a serious illness because your doctor failed to recognize or treat jaundice, you deserve to be compensated. This is a tragedy that should have been prevented.
