Why You Should Hire a Birth Defect Lawyer

If your child was born with an anomaly in the birth, it can have a devastating effect on you and your family. The cost of therapy, medical bills and other losses can quickly accumulate.

A Hyattsville birth defect lawyer could help you file a claim to recover compensation for the cost of taking care of your child with disabilities. Legal claims for birth defects are complicated, so it is important to seek legal advice immediately.

Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals are required to adhere to a certain standard when treating pregnant women or their infants. A doctor can be held accountable for any damages when their actions cause birth defects or injuries. A DC lawyer with experience in birth defect lawsuits can assist you in determining whether your child's health condition may be the result of an error in medical care during the pregnancy or delivery.

A doctor may be liable for birth injuries if they fail to diagnose or adequately respond to distress of the fetus. This can cause a number serious problems including hypoxic-ischemic neuropathy and brain injuries like cerebral palsy.

Birth injuries differ from birth defects in that they are caused by events during pregnancy, delivery, or labor. Injuries can result from ailments like Erb's palsy which develops when the nerves that power and control the arms of a newborn are stretched or ruptured during birth and caput succedaneum, a swelling of the scalp. Both of these could lead to lifelong disability and require ongoing treatment, resulting in hefty medical costs. A Washington, DC lawyer who is skilled in birth defects can provide a free consultation to analyze your case and determine the best course for you and your baby.

Prescription Drugs

An attorney for birth defects may be able to assist parents in determining the root cause of a child's birth injury. Many birth defects result from the genetics of the baby or other factors during pregnancy. However, certain medications can also cause birth defects. Certain commonly used medications can have negative effects on the fetuses. This is especially applicable in the early months of pregnancy. These include anti-nausea medications, NSAIDs, chemotherapy medications such as certain antibiotics and many more. These drugs have been found to increase the risk of limb and brain defects, heart defects and craniosynostois.

It is the duty of a doctor to be aware of the risks when prescribing medication for women who are pregnant. If doctors fail to adhere to this standard of care they may be liable for medical negligence. Pharmaceutical companies can be held liable as well for failing to adequately warn mothers of the risks associated with their products. For example, Zofran, a medication used to treat nausea in cancer patients, has been shown to significantly increase the risk of congenital defects that are major in the first trimester of a pregnancy.

An attorney who specializes in birth defects can assist a family to obtain compensation for medical expenses, loss of income and quality of living. This could include doctor's, hospital, pharmaceutical, and other expenses, as well aidive devices and treatments.

Chemical Exposure

A birth defect lawyer may bring a lawsuit for families of children with congenital disabilities as a result due to the negligence of corporations that expose pregnant women to chemicals and other drugs that cause birth deformities. They are trained to determine the cause of the birth defect so that they can file a lawsuit against companies that expose mothers to teratogens during the time they are working or in their home.

Metals, fungicides herbicides and pesticides are just a few of the chemicals that can cause birth defects. These chemicals are known as teratogens due to their impact on the development of the fetus making chemical changes that inhibit normal cell function, or can cause malformed organs. These chemicals are used in diverse settings like manufacturing of semiconductors, cleaning of metals and paint production.

Other harmful chemicals that could cause birth defects include aliphatic cyaninated hydrocarbons such as perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene or dichloroethane. These chemicals have been proven to cause birth defects, including cardiac defects in babies born to mothers exposed to them in the womb.

Parents have filed lawsuits to ensure that companies are held accountable for the families of soldiers who live at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina exposed to harmful chemicals. Some of these birth defect lawyers have won substantial settlements on behalf of families who had their children born with severe birth defects because of the toxic chemical exposures at the base.

Environmental Exposure

Certain birth defects may be caused by a combination of medical negligence and environmental factors. If a family suspects the birth defects of a child may be the result of medical negligence or prescription drug overdose or exposure to harmful chemicals, they should consult a DC birth injury lawyer to discuss their case.

Chemicals and other pollutants in the environment can cause birth defects of a serious nature when they are consumed by or taken in by pregnant women. These chemicals are referred to as teratogens. Over 4 million chemicals exist in our air, food and water and a few are harmful if they come into contact with pregnant women.

Arsenic from drinking water or cadmium in coal that has been contaminated for instance, may cause birth defects and other health problems. Industrial solvents such as trichloroethylene, benzene, and toluene (a metal degreaser) are also linked with certain birth defects. Glycol ethers, used in the manufacture of silicon chips, semiconductors and video displays, are known to increase the chance of having birth defects as well.

Our experienced attorneys for birth defects have filed a variety of lawsuits on behalf of children suffering from a variety of birth defects due to wrongful toxic or chemical exposure at work or at home. These lawsuits typically require sophisticated scientific analysis and experts as witnesses, like toxicologists and epidemiologists, geneticists, occupational medicine experts, and embryologists.
