Medical negligence, dangerous drugs and exposure to environmental hazards can lead to serious birth defects and injuries. A New York birth defects law firm can assist.

Medical Malpractice

If a physician fails to 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 screening, prescribing medications that increase the chance of birth defects or making a mistake during labor and birth.

Birth birth defects and birth injuries are usually due to genetic and environmental causes, but sometimes they occur due to medical negligence or malpractice. For instance, if a physician does not recognize the presence of a congenital defect in utero and then fails to notify parents of the disability, the parents can file a wrongful birth claim seeking compensation for the ongoing expenses incurred by the disabled child.

In order to prevail in a medical malpractice claim in birth defect cases the plaintiff must show that the doctor owed a breach of care to the patient, that he failed to fulfill the duty, that his actions or lack of action directly triggered damage and injuries, and that the patient suffered economic and noneconomic damages because of the injuries. These damages could include medical bills as well as lost wages and emotional stress.

Prenatal visits are important to ensure that pregnant women receive the necessary tests and monitoring. If you suspect that medical negligence caused the birth defect of your child, contact a medical malpractice and birth injury lawyer immediately.

Toxic Chemicals

In the United States, thousands of babies are born each year with a birth defect. These birth defects can range in severity and impact the manner in which a child looks and behaves throughout life. Some are minor, but others can lead to serious problems that may be fatal.

Birth 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 committed in holding employers accountable when they expose pregnant mothers or their unborn babies to harmful drugs or substances.

It is well-established in scientific research that certain toxins as well as chemicals can cross the placenta and harm the unborn baby. These toxins are referred to as teratogenic. These teratogenic chemicals could cause birth defects like cleft lips, palates and spina bifida.

While they are working, mothers are exposed a variety of toxic chemicals. They can be inhaled, ingested or simply absorbed through the skin. These chemicals include industrial solvents like ethylene glycol-ethers (EGE) that are 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 because many pharmaceuticals aren't adequately tested on pregnant women and have been proven to cause birth defects.

Environmental Exposure

Environmental exposure is one of the main causes of birth defects. Genetic disorders are a common cause, but it's far from the only one. Numerous different chemicals and toxins that are present in the home workplace, food and work environment can increase the chance of having a birth defect. Pesticides and fungicides are among the most commonly used. Heavy metals, paints, heavy pigments, and certain chemicals are also included. Exposure to these toxins is usually unavoidable. If businesses fail to protect their pregnant employees, this is negligence and they can be held accountable.

Researchers are unable to pin down exactly what causes the birth defect in a specific way. It is possible that an interaction between several factors can cause the problem, but the issue is assessing the effects of these interactions in real time. The National Children's Study is important because it is in progress across several states. The NCS will enrol 100,000 women from diverse populations and monitor them and their children for the long term. This study will provide comprehensive information about how environmental factors impact the health of children and fetuses.

Many parents who have a birth defect in their child feel guilty believing that they were responsible for the defect. But, these problems are usually inevitable. Our birth defect attorneys are aware of this and are dedicated in helping families whose children are born with birth defects.

Product Liability

Many birth defects are caused by a variety of factors that range from drug and alcohol consumption during pregnancy to genetics. Fortunately, the majority of these causes can be cured. If your child was diagnosed with a medical condition that could have been avoided it is possible to seek compensation through a lawsuit involving birth defects.

A New York birth defect attorney can assist you to determine if your child's problem is due to an illness, chemical or environmental exposure that is eligible for compensation. Your legal team will calculate the total cost of medical expenses for your child's condition according to the severity.

While the vast majority of birth defects aren't caused due to medical negligence, there are occasions where a healthcare worker was negligent before or during labor and delivery. A physician may incorrectly prescribe a medication which harms the baby before it's born, or commit a mistake during surgery.

Our birth defect attorneys have successfully defended allegations that a mother's health care provider was exposed to prescription drugs or toxic chemicals which increased the chance that she will give birth to a child suffering from birth defects. We have also brought birth defect lawsuits against semiconductor manufacturers and paint factories who expose their workers to dangerous chemicals in the workplace.
