Medical Malpractice

If a doctor does not adhere to the accepted standard of practice in his or her area, it is deemed medical malpractice. This could be due to failing to perform prenatal testing or prescribing medications which increase the chance of birth defects, or making an error during labor and delivery.

Birth defects and birth injuries can be caused by genetic and environmental factors, but sometimes they are the result of an error or negligence of a physician. For example, if a physician does not recognize an inborn disability and fails to inform the parents of this disability, the parents can bring a wrongful birth claim seeking compensation for the lifetime expenses incurred by the disabled child.

A successful medical malpractice claim in birth defect cases demands that the doctor was obligated to the patient to perform a duty of care, that the doctor violated this duty, the doctor's actions, or failure to act led directly to injuries and damages, and that the victim suffered economic and non-economic losses as a result of the injuries. These damages could include cost of medical bills, lost wages as well as pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Toxic Chemicals

Every year thousands of children are born with a kind of birth defect in the United States. These defects can be of varying severity and impact the way children behave, appear and performs. Some are minor, while others can cause serious issues and even lead to death.

Birth defects can be caused by genetic abnormalities or a variety of environmental and chemcial factors. For instance, exposure to toxic chemicals can cause serious complications for newborns. Our firm is determined to hold employers accountable for exposure of pregnant women and their unborn children to harmful substances or medications.

In scientific research, it is known that certain chemicals and toxins can be transmitted through the placenta, affecting the unborn child. These chemicals are referred to as teratogenic. Exposure to these teratogenic chemicals may cause birth defects such as the cleft palate and lips as well as spina Bifida and muscular dystrophy.

Many mothers are exposed to various toxic chemicals while working. They can be inhaled, ingested or simply absorbed through the skin. These chemicals comprise industrial solvents such as EGE, ethylene glycol ethers (EGE) used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Parents can be exposed to these toxins when they are consuming certain over-the-counter and prescription drugs. Many drugs have not been properly tested on pregnant women and have resulted in birth defects.

Environmental Exposure

Environmental exposure is one of the main causes of birth defects. Genetic disorders are a common cause but it's not the only reason. The presence of numerous chemicals and toxins in the home, at work and in food can increase the risk of developing birth defects. This includes fungicides and pesticides and lead, as well as heavy metals, certain paints and many other chemical substances. Exposure to toxic substances is almost always inevitable. However, if companies fail to protect pregnant workers, they're negligent and may be held accountable.

Researchers are still unable determine exactly what causes a particular birth defect. It could be that an interaction between several factors can cause the condition, but the problem is assessing the effects of these interactions in real time. This is why the National Children's Study, now being conducted in a number of states, is so important. The NCS will enroll 100,000 women from representative populations and follow them and their children for the long run. This study will provide the most comprehensive data to date about how various environmental factors affect fetal and child health.

Many parents suffering from a child's birth defect feel guilty that they somehow contributed to the problem, but it's usually the case that these kinds of defects are unavoidable. Our birth defect lawyers are aware of this and are dedicated to helping families seek justice for children who suffer from birth defects.

Although the majority of birth defects aren't caused due to medical negligence, there are cases where a healthcare worker is negligent before or during labor and delivery. A doctor could incorrectly prescribe a medication that injures the baby before it is born, or commit a mistake during surgery.

Our birth defect attorneys have successfully litigated claims where a mother's health healthcare provider was exposed prescription drugs or toxic chemicals which increased the chance that she will give birth to a child who has birth defects.
