Sometimes, these errors have tragic consequences. These mistakes can result in congenital problems for children, particularly when they are related with the birth of a baby and pregnancy.

Birth defect cases that are based on medical malpractice often involve a failure to diagnose an illness or condition that could be prevented and treated. The majority of these cases are triggered by drugs or treatments that the mother received during pregnancy as well as during the months and weeks prior to the birth.

Environmental factors can cause birth defects. They could be caused by exposure to chemicals or environmental factors, the use of certain medications or drugs, and the consumption of food products that are not of high quality or have been contaminated. Many birth defect lawsuits are based upon these concerns. They are filed against pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and doctors. These cases are based on the principle that pharmacists, manufacturers and doctors have a responsibility to inform pregnant women of the dangers associated with certain medications and drugs they take.

Prescription Drugs

Drug Manufacturers

If a mother or child has birth defects that seriously affect their appearance and bodily functions it is possible to sue the producer of the medication used during pregnancy.

The drug Zofran was advertised to pregnant women even though the company was aware that it could result in a severe birth defects. In these instances the drug companies are responsible under strict product liability laws.
