Many birth defect lawsuits are based upon allegations of medical malpractice. These cases may involve mistakes made by doctors or nurses at any time during the birth, labor and delivery procedures. In addition medical professionals may be guilty of medical malpractice following the birth of a baby if they fail to provide the correct treatment.
Generally, the statute of limitations in these cases is generally 2.5 years from the date of the act of medical malpractice. This time frame can be extended to infants. It is crucial to consult a lawyer as soon as you can to ensure that all the evidence is gathered and that a timely complaint be filed.

Parents should consider the following characteristics when choosing an attorney to represent their interests in a lawsuit filed for birth injury or defect:
Medical Malpractice
Birth defects can result in an array of mental or physical ailments. Some birth defects can cause death. Some of these issues are inherited, while others are caused by exposure to environmental factors or the use of prescription medications during pregnancy.
A medical professional or doctor may be accused of negligence if they cause a birth defect through their actions or inaction. These cases typically are caused by medical negligence during delivery or labor. They also encompass any act of failure to act which falls below a standard of medical care, for example the failure to diagnose an illness or prescribing the wrong medication during pregnancy.
One example of this type of case involves a medication called teratogens, which can cause serious birth defects. In the course of pregnancy, doctors generally advise women to avoid taking this medication, which is commonly used in the treatment of seizures. If a woman who is pregnant is exposed to this drug, she should file an insurance claim.
It is important to choose an attorney who has experience in handling these types of cases. You should seek out a firm with extensive experience in this field. It also is based on contingency, meaning that you don't have to pay anything until you are successful. Look for an attorney with outstanding negotiation and communication skills. This can help ensure that your claim is filed before the time limit expires.
Prescription Drugs
Many birth defects result in mental or physical disabilities that require expensive medical treatment and accommodations for the child. These conditions are often caused by genetics, but can also be caused by environmental or chemical exposure or medication taken by the mother during pregnancy.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers are required to test their products correctly and inform the public about any risks that could be present. Unfortunately some pharmaceutical companies do not keep up with the latest research or anticipate possible side consequences. Furthermore, doctors may prescribe dangerous drugs to their patients and women may not receive adequate information on the risks of taking certain drugs during pregnancy. These medications are referred to as teratogens, and they can cause birth defects in the fetus, such as spina bifida.
Other substances that could cause birth defects are chemicals used in the manufacturing and agricultural industries, and heavy metals like mercury that affect groundwater or the air. Diane Paolicelli has dedicated her legal career to fighting powerful corporations that expose women to harmful chemicals and substances that cause harm to their reproductive health and cause birth defects.
If you decide to file an action against the parties that are accountable for your child's health it is crucial to gather as much evidence as you can. This includes any blood tests, ultrasound images, and medical bills incurred due to the birth defect. This will help the attorney determine the value of the case.
Product Liability
Pregnancy is among the most exciting and anxious experiences of the life of a woman. It's also a time where many medical professionals make mistakes that could lead to birth defects. A reputable attorney can assist parents in filing an action and obtaining the amount they deserve from the people responsible for the disabilities of their child.
Although the causes of birth defects are usually not understood by medical professionals but a large proportion of birth defects can be linked to exposure to chemicals or environmental causes. This can include exposure by parents to toxic chemicals in the workplace such as solvents and glycol ethers in semiconductor manufacturing, as well as agricultural chemicals used for pesticides and crop spraying.
Additionally, the manufacturers and those who prescribe prescription medicines are required to inform people about the risks. However, a significant portion of these drugs are sold off-label for women of childbearing age without adequate warnings about the potential for birth defects. This is particularly true for antidepressants such as Prozac and Zoloft.
Christian Uehlein, a partner at Thornton Law Firm, represents plaintiffs in birth defect lawsuits against chemical and pharmaceutical companies. His practice is centered around cases that involve the occurrence of birth defects due to exposure of parents to toxic chemicals, which includes those in semiconductor manufacturing and agriculture. He is a graduate from the American University in Washington, D.C. as well as Suffolk University Law School.
