The Louisiana Record reports that a baby’s parents are suing doctors over birth injuries the child’s death at the age of 19 months. Ashley Robinchaux and Harris Irvin became the proud parents of baby Justin on October 1, 2009.

The parents say there were difficulties from the very start. They “argue that a cesarean section delivery was needed but was not performed. They say the physicians who delivered the baby also failed to perform appropriate resuscitation techniques after the birth,” according to The Louisiana Record.

The Record writes that a lawsuit has been filed against “the state of Louisiana, Louisiana State University Medical Center, Health Sciences Center and the Medical Center of Louisiana at New-Orleans University Hospital Campus, and the Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund.”

The couple says their son required 24-hour care since birth because of brain damage as well as other complications. His official cause of death, according to The Louisiana Record, was complications due to anoxic (lack of oxygen) injuries.
