Medical Malpractice

Medical negligence occurs when a doctor is in violation of the accepted standard of care in his or her area of expertise. This could be due to failing to perform prenatal screening or prescribing drugs that increase the chance of birth defects, or making an error during labor and delivery.

Birth defects and birth injuries are usually due to genetic and environmental causes, but sometimes they arise due to the negligence or malpractice of a doctor. For example in the event that a physician fails to recognize a congenital disorder in the uterus and fails to notify parents of the disability, the parents can make a claim for wrongful birth seeking compensation for the lifetime expenses incurred by the disabled child.

To prevail in a medical negligence case in birth defects the plaintiff has to prove that the doctor owed a breach of duty to the patient, that he breached the duty, and that his actions or inaction action directly caused damage and injuries, and that he was a victim of economic and non-economic damages as a result of the injuries. These damages could include medical expenses and lost wages, as well as emotional distress.

Certain birth injuries and defects are preventable by timely testing and monitoring during pregnancy. It's vital for pregnant women follow their doctors' recommendations regarding their prenatal visits.

Toxic Chemicals

In the United States, thousands of babies are born each year with a birth defect. These defects can be of varying severity and impact the way children behave, look and performs. Some are minor while others can cause serious problems and can even be fatal.

Birth problems can be caused by genetic anomalies or a range of chemcial and environmental factors. For instance exposure to toxic chemicals can cause serious health issues for newborns. Our company is committed to ensuring that employers are held accountable when they expose pregnant mothers or their unborn babies to harmful substances or medications.

In the scientific literature, it is established that certain chemicals and toxins can traverse the placenta to affect the unborn child. These toxins are teratogenic. These teratogenic chemicals can cause birth defects like lips, palates, and clefts as well as spina Bifida.

Many mothers are exposed a wide variety of harmful chemicals when they are working. These chemicals can be ingested or inhaled through the skin. These chemicals include industrial solvents such as the ethylene glycol-ethers (EGE) used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Parents may also be exposed to these poisons when they consume certain prescription or over-the-counter medications. This is due to the fact that many drugs have not been adequately tested on pregnant women and have been demonstrated to cause birth defects.

Environmental Exposure

While genetic disorders are one of the most frequently cited causes of birth defects, exposure to environmental factors can also play a role. The presence of numerous toxins and chemical compounds in the home, at work and in food can increase the risk of birth defects. Pesticides and fungicides are among the most commonly used. Paints, heavy metals, heavy pigments, and certain chemicals are also included. Exposure to toxic substances is almost always inevitable. However, if companies do not take precautions to protect pregnant employees they are negligent and can be held accountable.

Researchers are still unable to pinpoint the exact cause of a birth defect. It is possible that an interaction between several factors can cause the condition, but the problem is evaluating the effects of these interactions in real time. The National Children's Study is important because it is currently underway in a variety of states. The NCS will enrol 100,000 women from representative populations as well as follow them and their children over the long term. This study will provide comprehensive information about how environmental factors impact fetal and childhood health.

While the vast majority of birth defects are not caused due to medical negligence, there are cases when a healthcare worker is negligent prior to or during labor and birth. A doctor could prescribe a medication that causes harm to a baby even before birth, or make an error in surgery.

Our birth defect lawyers have successfully prosecuted cases against drug companies in cases where a mother's health healthcare provider has been exposed to prescription drugs or toxic chemicals that increase the chance of her having a child with a birth defect.
