Everyone believes that nurses and doctors are trained to treat diseases, treat ailments and handle emergencies. They are still humans and may make a mistake. Sometimes, these mistakes can have devastating consequences. When the mistakes are connected to birth and pregnancy they can lead to congenital issues that drastically alter the child's life.

Birth defect cases that are based on medical malpractice typically involve the failure to identify an illness or condition that could have been treated and prevented. Often these cases are the result of drugs or treatments that mothers used during pregnancy and in the weeks and months prior to the birth.

Other types of birth defects could be caused by environmental causes. These could be due to exposure to chemicals or environmental elements and the use of certain medications or medicines or eating poor-quality or contaminated foods. These issues are the subject of a variety of birth defect lawsuits involving pharmaceutical companies, doctors and hospitals. These cases are based on the idea that both manufacturers and pharmacists have a duty to inform pregnant women of the dangers associated with certain drugs and medicines.

Prescription Drugs

A lawsuit could be filed when the child's birth defect can be traced back to the medication taken by a mother during pregnancy. While most birth defects are genetic, they can be caused by poor prenatal treatment or exposure to harmful chemicals.

A lawyer can help you determine which medical expenses can be covered by compensation that includes procedures at the hospital, doctor's appointments rehabilitation services, and assistive devices. Depending on the degree of the birth defect parents may be entitled to compensation for suffering and pain.

The time of pregnancy is very complicated and there are a variety of things that could be wrong. Certain of these issues can be avoided.

Drug Manufacturers

If a baby or mother is born with birth defects that affect their appearance and bodily functions it could be possible to sue the manufacturer of the medication that is used during pregnancy.

The drug Zofran for instance, was promoted to women who were pregnant even when the manufacturer knew it could cause serious birth defects. In these cases, drug companies are liable under strict product liability laws.
