Birth Defect Lawsuits

Parents want their children to be perfect, but sometimes it's not feasible. When that happens it is imperative that parents in shock seek out the assistance of skilled birth defect lawyers.

Medical negligence, dangerous medications, and exposure to environmental hazards can lead to serious birth defects and injuries. A New York birth defect law firm can assist you in getting answers.

Medical Malpractice

When a doctor fails to follow the accepted standard of practice in their field, it's considered medical malpractice. This could mean failing to perform routine prenatal tests or prescribing medications that increase the risk of a birth defect or making a mistake during labor and delivery.

Birth defects and birth injuries are usually caused by genetic and environmental factors, but they can also be a result of an error by a doctor. If a doctor fails to detect congenital disabilities during pregnancy, and then fails not to inform parents of the problem of the condition, parents might be legally able to file a case for wrongful birth seeking compensation for all the costs associated with their disabled child.

A successful medical malpractice claim in birth defect cases requires that the doctor owed the patient a duty of care, that the physician did not fulfill this duty, that the doctor's actions or failure to act directly caused injuries and damages, and that the victim suffered economic and non-economic losses as a result of his or her injuries. These damages could include medical bills, lost wages and emotional stress.

Prenatal visits are essential to ensure that pregnant women receive the necessary testing and monitoring. If you suspect that medical malpractice caused your child's birth defects, contact a medical malpractice and birth injury attorney immediately.

Toxic Chemicals

Every year, thousands of children are born with a type of birth defect in the United States. These defects may be of different severity and affect the way that children behave, look and functions. Some are minor while others can cause serious problems that may be fatal.

Birth problems can be caused by genetic defects or a range of environmental and chemcial factors. For instance exposure to toxic chemicals could cause serious health issues for newborns. Our firm is committed to holding employers accountable for exposed pregnant women and their unborn babies to harmful chemicals or medications.

In the scientific research, it is known that certain chemicals and toxins may traverse the placenta and affect an unborn child. These toxins are known as teratogenic. These teratogenic chemicals may cause birth defects, such as cleft lips, palates and spina Bifida.

Many mothers are exposed to an array of toxic chemicals when they are at work. These chemicals can be ingested or inhaled, or absorbed by the body's skin. These chemicals include industrial solvents such as ethylene glycol and ethers (EGE) that are used in the manufacture of semiconductors. These toxins can also be ingested by parents when they take certain prescription and over-the-counter drugs. This is due to the fact that many drugs have not been adequately tested on pregnant women and have been shown to cause birth defects.

Environmental Exposure

Environmental exposure is an important cause of birth defects. Genetic disorders are a common cause, but it's far from the only one. The presence of a variety of chemical compounds and toxins in the workplace, at home and in food items can increase the risk of developing birth defects. These include fungicides, pesticides lead, heavy metals, certain paints and various chemical substances. Exposure to these toxic substances is often inevitable. If employers fail to protect their pregnant employees, it is negligence and they can be held accountable.

Researchers aren't able to pin down exactly what causes the birth defect in a specific way. It is possible that a mix of factors could cause the condition. The problem is to study the effects of these factors in real-time. The National Children's Study is important because it is in progress in a variety of states. The NCS will enrol 100,000 women from a variety of populations and follow them and their children for the long-term. This study will provide the most comprehensive data available on how different environmental factors impact fetal as well as child health.

Many parents who are suffering from a child's birth defect are resentful that they have contributed to the problem, but it is often the case that these kinds of problems are a given. Our birth defect lawyers are aware of this and are committed to families who seek justice for children who suffer from birth defects.

Product Liability

Many birth defects are caused by a variety of factors, ranging from drugs and alcohol consumption during pregnancy to genetics. Fortunately, many of these causes can be prevented. If your child was diagnosed with a medical issue which could have been avoided and prevented, you could be able to recover damages in an action for birth defects.

A New York birth defect attorney will be able to help you determine if your child's illness is due to an illness, chemical or environmental exposure that qualifies for compensation. Your legal team can estimate the total cost of medical expenses for your child's condition in relation to the severity.

Although the vast majority of birth injuries are not due to medical negligence, there have been cases in which a doctor was negligent during or prior to labor and delivery. A doctor may prescribe a medication which harms an infant before it is born, or they may make a mistake during surgery.

Our birth defect lawyers have successfully defended lawsuits against drug companies when a mother's medical healthcare provider has been exposed to prescription medication or toxic chemicals that increase the chance of her having a child with birth defect. We also have brought birth defect lawsuits against semiconductor and paint factories who expose their workers to toxic chemicals while in the workplace.
