Birth problems and injuries can be caused by medical negligence, drugs that are dangerous or exposure to environmental toxins. A New York birth defect law firm can provide answers.

Medical Malpractice

When a doctor fails adhere to the accepted standards of practice in their area, it is considered medical malpractice. This may include not performing prenatal tests, prescribing medications that increase the chance of birth defects, or making an error during labor and delivery.

Birth birth defects and birth injuries are often caused by genetic or environmental causes, but occasionally they are the result of a doctor's negligence or malpractice. For example in the event that a physician fails to recognize a congenital disorder in the uterus and fails to inform parents of the impairment, parents can pursue a wrongful birth lawsuit seeking compensation for the lifetime expenses associated with the handicapped child.

To prevail in a medical negligence case in birth defects the plaintiff must demonstrate that the doctor was in breach of a duty of care to the patient, and that he did not fulfill this duty, that his actions or inaction action directly led to damages and injuries, and that the patient suffered economic and non-economic losses as a result of the injuries. These damages might include the costs of medical bills, lost wages as well as pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Some birth injuries and defects can be prevented with timely testing and monitoring during pregnancy. Therefore, it's crucial for pregnant women to adhere to their doctor's recommendations about prenatal visits. If you suspect that medical malpractice caused your child's birth defects seek out a medical malpractice and birth injury lawyer immediately.

Toxic Chemicals

In the United States, thousands of babies are born every year with birth defects. These birth defects are of various degrees and impact the way a child acts, looks and performs. Some are minor, while others can cause serious issues and even lead to death.

The causes of a child's birth defects could be due to genetic disorders or a variety of chemical and environmental factors. For instance exposure to toxic chemicals can cause serious complications for newborns. Our firm is committed to holding employers accountable when they expose pregnant mothers or their unborn babies to harmful substances or medications.

It is well-established in the scientific research that certain toxins as well as chemicals can enter the placenta and harm an unborn baby. These toxins are referred to as teratogenic. Teratogenic chemicals can cause birth defects such as cleft lips, palates and spina Bifida.

Many mothers are exposed to a wide variety of toxic chemicals while working. These chemicals can be breathed in or ingested, or simply absorbed through the skin. These chemicals include industrial solvents such as the ethylene glycol-ethers (EGE) employed in the manufacture of semiconductors. These chemicals can also be consumed by parents while they are taking certain over-the counter and prescription drugs. This is due to the fact that a number of drugs have not been adequately tested on pregnant women and have been proven to cause birth defects.

Environmental Exposure

Environmental exposure is one of the major causes of birth defects. Genetic disorders are a common cause, but it's not the only reason. Many different toxins and chemicals found in the home workplace, food and work environment could increase the chances of a birth defect. This includes fungicides and pesticides lead, heavy metals, some paints and many other chemical substances. Exposure to these toxins is often inevitable. However, when employers do not take precautions to protect pregnant employees they are negligent and can be held accountable.

Researchers have yet to pinpoint the exact cause of a birth defect. It is possible that a combination of factors could cause the condition. The next step is to analyze these interactions in real time. The National Children's Study is important because it is currently underway in several states. The NCS will enroll 100,000 women from representative population and track them throughout their lives and also their children. This study will provide the most comprehensive data available on how different environmental factors affect fetal and child health.

Many parents who have a birth defect in their child are resentful, believing that they contributed to it. But, these problems are often unavoidable. Our birth defect lawyers are aware of this and are committed to helping families whose children are born with birth defects.

Product Liability

Many birth defects result from a variety of factors, ranging from drugs and alcohol consumption during pregnancy to genetics. Fortunately, many of these causes can be avoided. If your child was born with a medical condition that could have been prevented or prevented, you could be entitled to compensation through an action for birth defects.

A New York birth defect lawyer will be able to help you determine if your child's illness is caused by chemical exposure, a medication or other environmental trigger that is eligible for compensation. The legal team of your lawyer can estimate the total cost of medical bills related to your child's condition based on the severity.

Although the vast majority of birth injuries are not the result of medical negligence, there have been cases where a doctor has been negligent prior to or during labor and birth. A doctor could prescribe a medication in a way that causes harm to a baby even before birth, or even make an error in surgery.

Our birth defect attorneys have successfully pursued claims in which a mother’s health healthcare provider was exposed prescription drugs or toxic chemicals which increased the risk that she would give birth to a baby with birth defects. We also have filed birth defect lawsuits against semiconductor manufacturers and paint factories who expose their workers to toxic chemicals while when they work.
