Medicines
Drugs and medicines used by pregnant women, as well as certain environmental factors can increase the risk of birth defects. Some birth defects are caused by mutations in chromosomes or genes and the mutations typically run through families. Other birth defects are caused due to specific habits or exposure to chemicals when pregnant. This includes drinking alcohol, smoking, and taking illegal substances.
Certain birth defects can be detected before the baby is born, like spina-bifida and cleft lip/palate. Others are discovered only upon birth, for instance congenital heart defects (which affect the way a baby's heart functions) or gait and balance problems like cerebral palsy. Many birth defects can be treated, whether through surgery or medications. Some may need assistive devices, such as hearing aids or wheelchairs.
It is crucial for expecting mothers to discuss any medications they're taking with their medical professionals during pregnancy. This includes prescriptions, over-the-counter and herbal remedies. It is also essential that pregnant women are aware of the consequences of toxins and chemicals in their environment. If pregnant women are exposed to harmful chemicals or substances in the beginning of their pregnancy, they may increase the risk that their babies may develop birth defects like spinal muscle atrophy and fetal Alcohol Syndrome. The experienced birth defects attorneys at LK have successfully represented parents and children in lawsuits that involve exposure to toxic chemicals and cases filed because of complications with medical treatments.
Misdiagnosis
Birth defects can affect any aspect of the human body, and can have a significant impact on its appearance or function. Certain birth defects are more apparent than others, but they can be just as serious and life-altering. The majority of parents are informed about the existence of birth defects within the first year following birth or even several years later.
Depending on the severity of the defect may require immediate surgical or medical treatment to ease symptoms and improve function. In the event of a delay in diagnosis, it could also have serious consequences. A medical malpractice attorney who has experience in handling cases of medical malpractice will be able to help you determine the worth of your claim.
A successful medical negligence case will compensate your family and you for your losses. A skilled birth defect lawyer will assist you in navigating the legal process and allow you to concentrate on your family's future.
Senior partner Dennis Donnelly settled this wrongful birth failure in a prenatal diagnosis on behalf of a Mother and her newborn daughter. Routine blood work including hemoglobin electrophoresis proved that the Mother was infected with beta thalassemia and should have been sent to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist to further evaluate. Instead, her obstetricians misunderstood and misinterpreted the measurements of nuchal translucency from the ultrasound, and prevented the mother from knowing she had a child at risk of developing Down syndrome and a heart disease.
Parents want their babies healthy and happy. If a doctor's negligence or inattention increases the risk of injuries to your child, your family deserve justice.
Environmental Exposure
Environmental exposures are often the reason for serious birth defects. These defects can be caused by chemicals and physical substances found in air, food and water. These substances, also referred to as teratogens can cause harm to a female fetus.
If you work in a field where there is a greater risk of birth defects, for example metalworking, smelting or manufacturing, you may be able to file an opportunity to claim compensation for exposure. These kinds of cases are generally filed as birth defect lawsuits.
You could be qualified for compensation if you were pregnant at the time of exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. This is due to the fact that the study conducted in 2014 by ATSDR confirmed that exposure to the PCE water that was contaminated at Camp Lejeune was associated with neural tube birth defects, including spina bifida and anencephaly. The study also linked the same drinking water to childhood cancers such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia.

Birth defects like Down syndrome, spinabifida and cystic fibrosis can have a significant impact on a person's quality of life. If a physician fails to identify these disorders or fails to inform the patient of the risk, they could be held liable for malpractice.
